In my experience, the average Mexican doesn't have the same concept of adequate personal space or privacy that Americans or Canadians do. The more the merrier. A friend of mine found that his vacation rental home, that sleeps 6, and was booked for 6, had 17 people staying in it. They'll sleep 5 to a bed or just in a bedroll on the floor. The place has strict occupancy limits and they enforce them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we got an ONLY ADULTS all inclusive membership in the ONLY ADULTS hotel. Also, we go there, "out of hard season".

I knew I wouldn't want to drive home at night after the party, so I said I'd bring my little tent. He said, oh no, all their families lived there, there would be a place for me to sleep. I was telling these friends of mine that I was going to go to my first Mexican wedding, spend the night up there, but they'd told me not to bother bringing the tent. My friends said, "Oh, we've been through that before. They will be super hospitable, as Mexicans are, and show you to the room where you can sleep and you'll end up sharing a bed with 4 complete strangers. Bring the tent." And I had an Airbnb guest, a young woman, who had booked my guest room, where I only host solo guests- it just has a single bed. But she showed up with her boyfriend, and I didn't have the heart to turn them away, they looked so crestfallen when I said I only host solo guests (as it says clearly in my listing ad). So I asked, "You're both going to squish into that single bed?" ( She was a small person, but he wasn't). They said, Oh yeah, no problem. And they did, for a week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huge mistake. We got to our hotel and the Mexicans were so packed in you could barely see the beach. Not only that they were 3 on laps in the hot tub.

Although I can still go to my favorite little beaches a 15 minute drive from my house, even during Semana Santa and find them almost empty, because the tourists don't know about them, or come on the bus and can't get to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pappysmarket Posted April 12, 2021 Report Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thankfully the insurrection was successful and Tejas became Texas...basically because Mexico had been unsuccessful in getting many Mexicans to populate that area and the Gringos got tired of far off rule and did something about it. Maybe getting close to similar in the US, quien sabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
