A gentlemen at the hotel just down the beach from ours spent his days on vacation making some really great sand art. I figured it was worth sharing with more people than just the folks walking down that stretch of beach. -- Round 3

Chaneques are child-sized beings that act as protectors of the forest in indigenous Mexican mythology. They are known for being mischievous and frequently play tricks on those that enter their domain, such as leading people astray or hiding their belongings. #MythologyMonday
Today is Cinco de Mayo, a day of festivities that has morphed from a relatively quiet commemoration of the Mexican army’s victory over French troops in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, into a U.S.-centric, taco-infused, margarita-fueled celebration. But this year, Atlas Obscura is marking the occasion with this deep dive into Mexican culture. https://flip.it/tFksmY #Culture#Mexico#CincoDeMayo#USA
Cinco de Mayo is Indigenous history. The battalion that helped defeat the French in Mexico was composed of Nahuas from Puebla called the Zacapoaxtlas. And the president, Benito Juárez, was a Zapotec who helped protect Mexico from Euro re-invasion, showing heroic examples Native resistance to Еυrope
#White#Americans: As we near May 5 & a holiday massively co-opted by the #US, many of you/us should reconsider that sombrero & learn the history of #CincodeMayo.

Migrant crossings on the #US - #Mexico#border have dropped significantly in the first 3 months of the year, acc/to official figures, from a peak of 301,981 in Dec to under 200,000 a month from Jan - Mar. That could ease political pressure on #POTUS#Biden, but #Republicans are likely to continue attacking him by pointing out that border crossings remain relatively high.

Why haven't we learned better lessons from decades of hopeless violence at the #border?
In our magazine, author Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera looks at #Mexico's war on drugs, and uncovers its real goals: land ownership and the control of natural resources such as oil, natural gas, #water, lithium, and more. https://www.texasobserver.org/unwinnable-drug-war/
"A new statistical analysis of the interaction between El Niño and rising global temperatures due to #ClimateChange concludes that the approaching summer in the tropics has nearly a 7 in 10 chance of breaking records for temperature and humidity.
The prediction applies to a broad swath of the world straddling the equator, including India and the bulk of Africa, Central and South America and Australia, but also includes Florida and Texas."
"Anticyclonic conditions over the region have been responsible for this heatwave by inhibiting cloud formation, allowing temperatures to rise significantly. These conditions persisted through much of last week, allowing temperatures to reach 35-45C across much of the country."
#Bonjour! I need the help of someone who is located in #Paris, to go into the Cimetière Montmarte and take a couple of photos for me.
The De la Cruz family tombstone is in division 21, ligne 2/65, on the Avenue Cordier. I'm happy to offer 20 EUR to anyone who can get me some good snapshots of it.
For all of you not in Paris, please boost so that this request reaches #France!
