Ghost Holiday

All the schools are closed today. Yesterday there were a ton of people in town, and lots of cars. But it's hard to figure out exactly why.

November 20 is a true holiday they tell me. I've been able to gather that it's to celebrate the Mexican revolution (rather than independence, which is a different holiday.) And apparently a lot of businesses and such close on Monday, rather than Friday November 20. I guess the Mexicans like to have their Mondays off, instead of Fridays, but this seems rather weird to me.

One of our taxi drivers called this weekend "La Puente". Maybe it's different from the revolution, but there's nothing special happening. Not even fireworks.

Quite a mystery...
