    Does anybody know if Mon, Nov2, is a public holiday? If so, what services do you expect will be closed? If so, I wish somebody had told me, earlier, I'd have got up to something!

    Nov. 2 is El Dia de los Muertos and today is a Catholic holiday called All Saints' Day. Laura is telling me that public schools and other government offices will be closed tomorrow, and that many shops might be closed up as well.

    News to me too :)

    Day of rest!

    Well, I don't mind at all! Thanks, everybody.

    It is not a legal holiday and, like most businesses in any resort town, almost everything will be open. Mexico is a "lay" state when it suits but many religious holidays are "days off" especially if they fall close to a weekend.

    Having some fun

    Thanks, Jim, you've given me a clear conscience about lying about, today!

    V,

    Will you be lying or laying?

    Just curious.

    Both?

    Is it possible to do both, at the same time?

    Turns out, I'll be doing neither, as the office I was planning to visit, before I started hearing about a holiday, turns out to be open, after all! Darn!
