The Top Five Things I Love About Mexico

1. Mexican people. Without fail, these people are friendly and kind. I don’t think I’ve ever met a grouchy Mexican in Mexico. I understand that tourism is what pays their bills, but that is true in many places and you don’t see the unparalleled positivity in all of them, like you do in Mexico. Maybe it has something to do with living in paradise?…
2. The weather. Duh. 
3. The way nothing closes if there is even one possible customer. In the U.S. it’s all about volume. Here they are happy to provide services anywhere if you are buying, no matter what time it is. Sometimes things close earlier than you expect them to…but they NEVER kick you out and they NEVER make you feel like you’re keeping them from something more important. 
4. The spelling in English-translated signage. Endlessly charming. I am a total grammar and spelling Nazi (a quality I don’t really love that much in myself) so I notice every little thing, and the way some words are morphed is just entirely amusing and entertaining to me. Sadly, I have no examples of this. Next trip… 
5. Pina coladas for breakfast. Ok, I know you can get that in many places. But it’s so cool, I had to mention it.
