But Yucatan isn't much for public festivals this time of year. New Year's Eve is usually celebrated with the family or with friends. Our intrepid assistant, Beatriz, wrote this: "No such thing as a public fiesta. But in this part of town, south of the zocalo, you might find some streets closed and neighbors on the street having a party. Although that is also kind of private since it is only the neighbors along the street who get together. The burning of the <em>viejos</em> will also happen more in the south... basically in the old colonies... I don't think it happens in the new fraccionamientos..." This article will give you a rundown on New Year's Eve traditions in these parts: http://www.yucatanliving.com/events/new-years-eve-in-yucatan.htm And a listing of what's going on where this year will be published very soon!

I came across your newsletter last February and have enjoyed reading about Merida from a Gringo/a perspective. I am visiting again this month and looking forward to attending some of the activities listed in the calendar. I appreciate your efforts in maintaining this spectacular little newsletter, it has kept me close to a city that I consider to be my second home.
