Mexican Celebratory Traditions

Monday, February 14th, 2011

Just 1 of the reasons I would love to take a holiday in Mexico one day is so that I can see the ways in which the natives celebrate their public holidays. Whereas British holiday celebrations are largely about commercialism, in Mexico the celebrations seem much more meaningful.

The Christmas Mexico holidays are still a very holy celebration and If you plan to visit during the nine days leading up to Xmas Day, you will get to see (and maybe take part in) Las Posadas - meaning “the lodging” - in which neighbors take it in turn to play “inn keepers”, hosting prayer celebrations for other friends and families which are representative of Joseph and Mary’s “Any room at the inn?” exploits. Each of the nine days represents one month of Mary’s pregnancy.

I will definitely be trying to take one of my holidays to the Caribbean influenced country around this time when I get my chance to travel there!

ST Valentines Day (or - D­a de San Valentine) is regarded as “the day of friendship and love” and is a celebration for all people, regardless if they are in a relationship or not. Balloons, flower and candies are given as gifts between lovers and friends so that everyone is included and feels loved.

Hand written sonnets are also popular since expressing your emotions is something that is socially encouraged daily in Mexico not just under the tropical sky of Valentines!

Halloween Mexicans celebrate the holiday in two parts. Los Angelitos falls first and sees the lives of dead children celebrated by natives. A path of flower petals from a child’s grave to the home of the mourning family is common practice to help “lead their child home”. Up next is Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) on November 2nd and this celebrates the lives of those whop dies at an older age.

Sugar skulls are the traditional gift for children at this time and dedicative altars are made at home, comprised of a deceased loved one’s favourite things and foods.

Face the Swords of the Mexican Gulf

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Travel Guide - Mexico

 

Anybody who is worth his salt dreams of turning into a hero and pit his capacities against a difficult —but not exceptionally risky— antagonist. A genuine sportfisherman thus fantasizes about grabbing the record-breaking fish if he can, or in any case one that can contest him to the end, favorable or not is of no consequence. He asks for in the least one fight that he can relate stories about to his brood and (mostly) grandchildren, one that can check his abilities to the maximum. The swordfishes of the Gulf of Mexico can grant this requirement of every genuine angler.

Swordfishes are classed in the variety of point-billed fishes that include marlins and sailfishes. They are choice sportfishing pursued species, being sturdy, fast and active, often doing tailwalking and greyhounding acrobatics that are marvelous to watch. Tailwalks are done when the hooked fish breaks through and squirms on the sea’s surface in its attempts to be free from the hook; while greyhounding is when it plunges shallow, leaps then dives shallow again as if after a sub-surface victim. Either effort will try the talents, endurance and equipment of the fisherman, commonly for hours, in a joyful and arduous fight.

Swordfish in the hundreds of pounds size normally present in the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico are caught in a site called ‘The Spur’ or the “The Steps’. The ‘Spur’ is a angled stem in the northern end of the DeSoto Canyon, a wide indentation in the floor of the Gulf. The Canyon opens perhaps 50 miles off Destin, at the western Florida panhandle, where it is around 1,200 feet deep, just about the correct depth for swordfishes, and widens east near Cuba and west to Texas and Mexico. However, the swordfish and other billed fishes can be found anywhere in the Gulf in varying volumes and concentration.

Fishing for swordfish in the Gulf is at present conducted usually at night with squid and mackerel as bait, superseding live blue runners as used before. The day is spent trolling with artificials for tuna and marlin, but daytime fishing for swordfish may be done in addition by angers who are ready to do so. But results may not be as favorable. Rigs must have reels with a very long line –either mono or braid—of 50-80 pounds capacity, though more adventurous anglers try lighter lines to have greater lengths in their reels, and fighting swords on finer lines makes for greatly to the adventure and battle of skills.

Of course, the Gulf of Mexico is not the solitary area you can find swordfish, marlins and sailfish: there are a lot of areas in the Caribbean and the eastern seaboard of the United States, like in the Hatteras region and frequently as close as Martha’s Vineyard. Fish and fisheries protection plans permitted the sustained preservation of these species for angling satisfaction as well as –honestly—in behalf of the recreational fishing industry of the country, which annually produces billions of dollars value of equipment, gadgets, artificial baits and materials for the sportfishing lovers.

Therefore if you want to go and enjoy your leisure time, come meet swords with the billfishes of the Gulf of Mexico. Another thing you can do if you don’t have the money to travel would be to play World of Warcraft. It is lots of fun and a great way to make it even more fun is to buy world of warcraft gold. While there are a lot of place to get wow gold, mymmoshop.com is the only safe place to buy gold.
