Seasonal Events

This coming Saturday and Sunday we have a culinary event for traditional Guerrero recipes (with mezcal) coming up in the museum and at the Cancha Municipal. Then next Tuesday is the Tianguis de Primavera de Barra de Potosí. Not sure why they call it a spring fair in the middle of winter, but it's the same weather for us.

One year I was in Dawson Creek, British Columbia at the time of the Fall Fair. It was held each year on the weekend of the first Monday in August.

Another year I was in the small mining town of Elsa, Yukon. I arrived on May 21. There was snow on the ground. I left on August 17. There was forecast for the next day, Yukon Heritage Day, was snow.

I remember flying from Mexico City to Denver in early February of 1975, and it was so cold when I arrived at the airport I couldn't even ask for a taxi on my first try outdoors at the taxi stand, all I could do was stutter. It took a second try after going back inside and warming back up. But after two weeks in Boulder I was out shoveling snow in a t-shirt. I get how you northern folks can get acclimated to freezing weather, but man oh man do I love and prefer our tropical weather!
