Friday the 13th

Friday the 13th has always had that unlucky connotation.  I'm not sure whether it actually is unlucky or if we just have a certain movie to thank for its unluckiness, but regardless, we all associate Friday the 13th with bad luck.

I, however, have had the luck to spend the past two Friday the 13ths here in Mexico, where they aren't unlucky at all.  Thats right, our neighbors to the south believe that this fatefull day only falls on Tuesday the 13th, not Friday.  Isn't it funny how a different latitude can change all your luck?

If you need further proof that Friday the 13th is not unlucky, here in Mexico we filled up our pool today.    After spending almost 3 months down here and countless days lying out beside an empty hole in the yard, Margarita decided to fill the pool.  Why haven't they filled up the pool by now, you ask?  Well the answer is simple: here in Merida they believe that it is too cold this time of year to fill up their pools.  It is winter after all.  Even if winter means temperatures in the 90s.

My Lesson of the Day: Winter is winter which for me has always meant no pools.
