May! May 1st is Labor Day across Mexico, which leads us into basically a three day weekend here at the beach. May includes numerous celebrations, including that of May 3rd – Día de la Santa Cruz (honoring builders), 5 de Mayo – Celebration of the Battle of Puebla, 10 de mayo – Mother’s Day (Mexico) and 11th (US), as well as US Memorial Day Weekend.
