Showcasing the Island’s People and Businesses
Vol I, Issue 10 FREE! February 2011
It is the first day of the year.
As I approach one of the tables
at the New Year’s Day gathering we are attending, someone
remarks that I could be Michael Jackson.

That’s it! The collective consciousness has shifted to Carnaval Cozumel 2011.
Though we still have the Three Kings’
Day celebration with its traditional Rosca de Reyes and the
tamalada that follows on February 2nd
, the Christmas Holidays, for some, are officially over.
From now until the burning of Juan Carnaval on March 9th

foods and music, but perhaps none as well attended and anticipated by the local folk and visitors of all
