Acapulco hotels report that they were nearly booked solid Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Today the crowds will be making their way home. Technically, tomorrow is the anniversary of the signing of the 1917 Constitution, which has been amended more than 300 times since it replaced the 1857 Constitution, which replaced the first one, proclaiming Mexico to be a republic in 1824. For three years before that, it had been an empire after three centuries under Spanish rule. Three-day weekends are a recent development, a boon to both workers and the travel industry.
