pappysmarket Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Whatever you do each year at this time, don't even consider going to the beach. It's 3 times as bad there. Always stock up on food, tequila and pesos and enjoy the long weekend at home. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This administration will end probably with nothing done to alleviate the problems. The next will come and who knows what they will or won't do. We can't cancel holidays so I guess we all, individually, need to think about our water supplies and make sure we have extra in reserve for holidays. Regarding the traffic, our theory is buy what supplies are needed early and stay off the streets on 3 day weekends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I guess since this is THEIR country, foreigners resident in same should be thankful it's as easy as it is for outsiders to come and live here rather than resent their "invasion". For shame!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you live mean and lean but my family as many other "foreigners". give back mucho in time,talent and dollar. If "they* feel I am a burden just kick me out.

ibarra Posted April 8 Report Share Posted April 8 Many on this site have lived in Mexico for over twenty years. Many on this site have Nationalized. Many are permanente. Many will be Nationalized. Many will become permanente when appropriate. IMHO we are here legally and therefore are not "invader's". 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy Week is a great time to visit Mexico City, they have all gone to the beach. Unfortunately, I found that not to be true. I've gone to Mexico City twice for Semana Santa in the past few years and the residents who had departed for elsewhere were more than made up for by tourists - many from Central and South America, but also many non-Chilangos who thought it would be nearly deserted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Well people are starting to get out in big numbers after years of covid hysteria. We were in Manzanillo and it was a zoo. Fortunately we were far enough down the beach so it was not bad right there. A lot of traffic but unlike here, the main road is well engineered and signalized to keep things moving.
