Mexico - Let's celebrate!
Since my arrival, Mexico has been in full party mode. Any excuse is good enough to celebrate the joy of life. Carnival, Day of the Dead, Cinco de Mayo...

Since arriving in Mexico, I've been slowly changing my diet. The stalls selling fresh fruits and vegetables, which haven't had to be refrigerated or travel thousands of kilometers before reaching my table, are too tempting. This cornucopia may explain why Mexico has one of the lowest cancer mortality rates in the world. The cancer rate is half that of Canada, and the survival rate is 60% higher. So, it's up to me to take advantage of it. credit: Grok While browsing the market
