Please pardon this being published a day late...I was at the parade yesterday instead of translating. Here are some scenes from the sidelines. (Before I found a shady spot to sit, I was standing at the back of a group watching the performances by the reviewing stand, where I could see clearly over the heads in front of me. After a while, I noticed a gentleman was standing behind me, and I tried to step aside, so he could see....and then I realized he was taking advantage of my tallness for some shade! ha!) It was an excellent parade, with many costumes and performances, that lasted for hours.

Excellent expectations for the state 9th Job Fair
In his speech, the Mayor spoke about Isla Mujeres recently achieving the designation of Pueblo Magico, which he said will be a new tool to define and improve this tourist destination, to be one of the best in the world. He said they will invite companies and all participants in the local economy to participate in creating and strengthening the urban infrastructure, by providing training courses for all employees to understand that we are a Pueblo Magico. The world tourism market has become more competitive, and we must be up to par and on the forefront as one of the best destinations in the world.
Ten companies participated in the Fair, offering ~150 jobs to all sectors: youths, professionals, people with disabilities, and the middle aged and senior citizens. Recognition was given to Hotel Ixchel for being a business that is committed to providing jobs for people with disabilities. Companies that were recognized for offering the largest numbers of vacancies were: Pimsa (sic..I think this means Prisma), Grupo Salinas, and the franchise OXXO.
A list of officials attending the inauguration of the event is given.

Construction: After destruction of acres of sea grape plants
Medio Ambiente
Edifican, tras talar hectáreas de uva
0 20 de noviembre de 2015 Editorial
Day after day, unscrupulous foreigners are destroying large tracts of mangrove and other protected plant species, for their fancy buildings, to create a landscape that mainly appeals to European tourists, causing irreversible damage to the ecological balance of the island. This time, the devastation occurred in the heart of downtown along Juarez Avenue, at the site of a large construction project, where a large area of sea grape has been cleared away, which is not only a protected species, but is essential to stop the erosion of wetlands. Authorities appear to have turned a blind eye to the 'ecocide', and every day the island becomes more vulnerable. According to complainants, the huge building is owned by foreigners and construction of this mansion has caused damage to the limestone foundations and has devastated and annihilated protected plants and protected animals, especially iguanas.

From Sally Margolis Hi all!! We (Isla Animals) are gearing up for a HUGE Spay/Neuter, Vaccination, Wellness campaign for the animals in Rancho Viejo Nov 17-22. This is a very poor area in the municipality of Isla Mujeres. Most are living without electricity and running water. The situation for the animals there is dire right now with parvo & distemper running rampant, and heavy overpopulation. We expect to treat/vaccinate/spay/neuter 1000 cats & dogs with the cost of surgery at just $10us per dog. This may be the only time any of these animals see a vet. We can treat the existing animals, vaccinate others against disease, curb the population growth, and educate pet owners on proper animal care and make a HUGE DIFFERENCE!! We have the knowledge, experience, volunteers, and heart to make it happen. We are asking for all of your help to raise funds to make the campaign a reality. (We can also accept Paypal donations via our site islaanimals.org - just add RANCHO VIEJO in message, and cash in person on Isla Mujeres. Please, please share the link on your social media. It helps us so much. If you are not in a position to donate PLEASE do read the campaign & share, there is lots of excellent info in it about the work we do-There is always so much to do! Thank you for your time! http://www.gofundme.com/isla-animals-rv
