Mardi Gras

It is carnival time in much of Mexico — and much of the world. Festivities already have begun in Veracruz, Mazatlan and elsewhere, growing wilder as the weekend approaches. Big day traditionally is Tuesday, Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, after which comes Ash Wednesday and Lent. Then we have the week before Easter, when all of Mexico goes on vacation, or tries to.
