Hilaria

 

 

"It is easier to fool people
than it is to convince them
that they have been fooled."
Mark Twain

 

Long before April Fools’ Day, there was the ancient Roman festival of Hilaria. It was a day of rejoicing and cheerfulness after the gloom of winter.  The first day of a better season, when no one was allowed to show signs of grief or sorrow. 

If you get fooled today, I hope it's a kindly, gentle trick. 

 

Meanwhile, a few nice pictures sent from south of the border. The families are currently in Cabo Pulmo, a tiny town 60 rough road miles north of Los Cabos. It is known for the national park and best reef snorkeling on the Baja Peninsula. 




The Sea of Cortez looks a bit choppy...
