I took my son in for a quick visit to his dentist here in San Miguel de Allende. We had a concern that the dentist was able to address with an exam and an x-ray. She didn’t charge us for the exam and the x-ray was just 300 pesos. This is the same clinic my older son is receiving Invisalign orthodontic treatment for about half the cost in the US. Love those prices! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Correspondent

Every year for the last 60 years or so, my town, San Miguel de Allende, has put on a plant fair to celebrate La Fiesta de la Candelaria. That’s Candlemas in English, a holiday celebrated by many Christian denominations. It’s a great time to pick up plants and flowers for the house! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

My family of four went to see the new Avatar movie today in San Miguel de Allende. Tickets: $13.34 total. We went crazy a bit on snacks - but it is three hours long! Three Icees, soft drink, large popcorn, candy bar, nachos with cheese, bottle of water: $25.21. A bargain! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Tonight's Monday Night Football matchup between the 49ers and Cardinals comes to you from Mexico City! It's been a tradition for the past several years for the NFL to host "international" games like this. American football is actually pretty popular in Mexico. They're expecting a packed house. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/49ers-cardinals-mexico-city-nfl-international-series/o37tyixqcbodvy2ygwcqqdqe

49ers vs. Cardinals will be the fifth and final international game in the NFL this year.

I had to take my dog to the vet earlier this week here in San Miguel de Allende. Vet care in the US can be crazy expensive. In Mexico we paid $46.94 for x-rays, vet consult, and medication. Our dog also got an ultrasound - but they didn’t charge us. They often waive some charges for us as long-time patients. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Visit one of Mexico City's many parks, and you're likely to be greeted with a sight like this. Residents drop their dogs off with trainers during the day for dog school. I'm not sure how they keep a dozen+ dogs all lined up and relaxed like that! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Your moment of Zen from the Riviera Maya. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

If you're in San Miguel de Allende, the Instituto Allende in the centro is a must-visit. The courtyard is relaxing in itself. There is a cute little outdoor cafe, as well as little art galleries. And you can even take art classes. And don't miss the murals on the back wall... - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

The beautiful coastline of Huatulco, on the southern Pacific coast! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

How about a little mariachi music to help you kick off the weekend!? - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

When you think about street food in Mexico, tacos top the list. But you can also find delicious ice cream, with usual flavors like vanilla and chocolate but also local varieties like passionfruit. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Puerto Vallarta is famed for its beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and...fun nightlife options. This is a popular open air bar/restaurant in the heart of the Zona Romantica. Have you ever been? - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Your Moment of Zen. The small beach town of Lo de Marcos is pretty quiet in "low season." But come winter-time, it is a hopping snowbird destination. There are several full-service RV parks in town, including several right on the beach. It's about 1.5 hours drive north of Puerto Vallarta on Mexico's Pacific Coast, part of the Riviera Nayarit. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

San Miguel de Allende, the picturesque colonial town in the highlands of central Mexico, has long been popular for destination weddings - and, after a hiatus, the weddings have returned! A traditional wedding activity here is to hire a local band to play lively dance music (similar to polka), as well as "mojigangas" representing the bride and groom. The whole wedding party will dance around the central plaza and on the street until they get to the place where the reception is being held. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

A beautiful day in Puerto Vallarta - one of Mexico's premier Pacific coast beach towns. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Street musicians are common in Mexico. But it's not so common to see someone so accomplished playing accordion. I stayed and watched this fellow in Guanajuato for several minutes - and tipped well! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Tulum, on Mexico's Caribbean Coast, is best-known for its white-sand beaches and chic beach clubs and boutique hotels. But inland a few kilometers is Tulum town, a buzzing and vibrant place packed with restaurants, bars, shops, and the like. Street performers are common here too - adds to the fun! If you'll notice these guys are literally performing in the street! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

What is your favorite Mexican food? Hard for me to pick... but I'd say tacos al pastor is definitely in my top 5! - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor

Riviera Maya Secret Beach

Just another one of those "secret" beaches on the Riviera Maya... Enjoy this moment of zen. - Jason Holland, IL Roving Latin America Editor
