A birth certificate is the most important identification document in Mexico.

 The overall winner of the 48th edition of the Sol al Sol Regatta was "After You",  whose captain, John Garner, was awarded the trophy. This was confirmed by the president of the organizing committee, Miguel Aleman, and was determined after analyzing each boat's classification. This sailboat won the "Cruiser" category, and was the third to cross the finish line on Monday at 6:31pm, behind Split Decision and Azzurra, who placed in the general positions of seventh and sixth, respectively. At the award ceremony, appreciation and gratitude was offered to all the government agencies who assisted in this event including the Mexican Navy, the Harbor Master, and the federal, state, and local governments.
     Following the conclusion of this event, preparations are beginning for the 29th edition of the Al Sol Regatta which begins May 10th with boats departing from New Orleans-Pensacola. (This regatta occurs every other year and departs from Florida May 11 & 12 LINK  to info in English.)

CROC union will celebrate Labor Day  
Sindicalizados festejarán el “Día del Trabajo”o.. [+] Ver mas Photos & full article at this link

  On May 1,  to commemorate Labor Day there will be a march thru the streets by tourism workers including waiters, cooks, housekeepers, and other personnel, followed by an event at the CROC union hall from noon to  4pm. There will be a discussion of the commitments to defend causes won by social struggles in Mexico, at this time when there is a decline in achievements by unions. The local CROC union leader, Roman Maldonado Euan, explained that the state leadership implemented these local family events, because there will be no statewide march or celebration, because of the current political campaigns prior to the upcoming elections. (Some events and activities that could be construed as political are limited by law during a designated period prior to the elections.)
     The event will be focused on increasing ties between parents and their children, and the theme is "Celebrating Labor Day with Family" On Sunday, they will be celebrating  Día del Niño, el Día de las Madres and el Día del Trabajo,. There will be gifts, raffles, a clown show, pinatas & candy, and healthy fun for families. For the mothers, there will be raffles of appliances including refrigerators, microwaves, and irons. There are more than a dozen companies who have donated these items, for this event which about 300 people are expected to enjoy.
