A Homemade Postcard from Majahua

Hi Everyone,

Today is a Mexican holiday, Constitution Day.

February 5th is the official date when the Mexican constitution was formed in 1917 after signing of a convention by Venustiano Carranza. Up until 2006, the day was celebrated in Mexico on the 5th of February itself. However, following the new labor law, the day is now celebrated on the first Monday of February, irrespective of the date. The day is celebrated to commemorate the formation of a new Mexican constitution.

Workers are to be given the day off with pay. Those who work on this national holiday, will be paid for the day PLUS double time for hours worked.

Banks and government offices will be closed.

We are great. Being in the warmth of the sun and away from the constant news about covid and truck convoys works for us.

Keep healthy and safe,
C and C

P.S. I had time and enjoyed making this little mixed media postcard, from Majahua. The beach huts are in my imagination though, as the beach here is just a lovely beach.Weiterlesen
