Greetings TAO Family and Friends!

October is an excellent month to enjoy living in Mexico. The sea turtle festival is held annually in Tulum, the Sea Turtle Festival is a free event which encourages participants to learn about sea turtles and familiarize themselves with the various organizations that are trying to protect them. Artistic, environmental and cultural activities are also a part of the festival.

Also during this month we celebrate the Day of the Dead kicks off at the end of the month. Xcaret Park honors this great event, declared a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, by celebrating the Festival of Life and Death Traditions every year on October 30th and 31st and on November 1st and 2nd. During this festivity you will be able to experience the Hanal Pixan ritual (food for the souls), cuisine of the region, workshops, crafts, gifts and altars, visual arts exhibitions, theater, dance and gala concerts.

During the last month we had several events that celebrated the month of Mexico including, our cooking class with Misael where we learnt how to make Chile en Nogada, our Mexican food and Mexican lottery at our lunch at the Wellness Center and of course the Mexican Indepence day at Bahia Principe.

Also we enjoyed visiting Chichen Itza for the stunning and magical equinox, our monthly trip to the Mayan Community of Yaxche and our Move night “Zapata”

Weather-wise it's a great time to visit: it's the end of the rainy season and temperatures are milder than other times of the year.

My thought of the week: Use the beauty and relaxed attitude of autumn as a time to plan a little window of peace and pause everyday - however and whenever it works.
