This weekend Mexico celebrates what was supposed to be the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, originally scheduled to start Nov 20 in 1910, but things did not work out as planned. Nonetheless, within a few months uprisings led to the fall of Porfirio Diáz, who had held on to the presidency for some three decades. As a result, banks, schools and many offices will be closed on Monday for what is being called El Buen Fin¸the Good End. This is Mexico’s version of Black Friday, with bargains galore available.
