The image is Isla Mujeres as a Pueblo Magico was not included, but it will be featured in the future.

Poor weather reduces tourist activities
Mal clima opaca la actividad turística. [+] Ver mas
Tropical wave #43 caused moderate to somewhat heavy rains during the day, which resulted in very few daytrippers coming to Isla Mujeres. Therefore the beaches, streets, and tourist attractions were half empty. There is an 80 percent chance of rain predicted for Friday.
Moderate to intense rain fell for nearly an hour at 1pm, causing flooding in the lower parts of downtown, which also occurred on Tuesday, and in some neighborhoods. Officials involved with fighting the fire at the Trash Transfer Facility are "rubbing their hands together" (se frotaban las manos) for more rain should smother the smoldering fire, as are the residents who have been affected.
Forecasters at NOAA issued a report saying, "An area of low pressure is expected to form a couple hundred kilometers south-southeast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec this weekend. Some development of this system is expected next week, as it slowly moves toward the northwest."
In the Atlantic basin there are no potential disturbances that could develop into a tropical cyclone (a hurricane) during the next five days.
Tourists were not visiting the beaches, preferring to stay in their hotels and in restaurants because of the storm, and waiting for a better time to enjoy the sun and sea.
"Carisma Joven" invited to a religious event
“Carisma Joven”, invitado a un encuentro espiritual.. [+] Ver mas
The group "Young Charisma" have been invited to participate in a three day event which begins on Friday in Merida, to raise funds for a new parish, said the coordinator Gibrán Emmanuel Mex Pinzón. They will be participating and singing in the three day event where it is estimated that there will be up to 10,000 people will attend.
The members include Azalea Leon Pastrana, singer and praise leader; Emmanuel Gibran Mex Finch, coordinator and singer; Euan Morales Beltran & Carlos Abraham Trejo Ancona, design and choreography; Carlos Pat, keyboardist and arranger; Gabino Peralta Moo, deputy coordinator and choir.
Smoke continues from the Trash Transfer Facility on Thursday morning
Continúa la humareda por el basurero en llama v.. [+] Ver mas
Dawn arrived with a large amount of smoke on Thursday, after the fourth night that the neighbors were affected by bad odors from the fire and garbage, depending of the changing wind direction. Sra Pia Fernandez wrote on the internet, "At times the wind changes, and sometimes the smoke and stench from the Trash Facility comes (into our houses). I wish some supernatural power would change the wind to blow it towards the homes of our Mayor, and the Directors of the Health and Ecology departments. See if that wouldn't put an immediate end to the toxic smoke. (They're) negligent, indifferent, and 'valemadres'." Many visitors expressed anger because they had not been told about this problem of burning trash.
Those who have been affected are emphatically demanding that the fire be extinguished, after the firetruck of Civil Protection and the fire hoses of Aguakan and of the Navy were all discontinued after Monday. Since rain has arrived and is more intense, the fire could begin to be extinguished. Workers poured water on in Sunday night and all day Monday. They did not fight the fire that was hidden inside the area where there is wood, and also tires. The odors went more than 500 meters, and even colonia La Gloria was affected when the wind changed.
Municipal authorities have remained silent for the past three days, "waiting for Mother Nature to do the work of putting out the fire."
