The Mexicanist Newsletter: Satanic Cats and Sunset Spots
The Mexicanist newsletter covers Mexico's first woman president, trade shifts, infrastructure projects, and cultural phenomena. From cartel negotiations to haunted houses, it explores Mexico's diverse landscape, offering insights on travel, history, and current events.
Hola! Gather 'round for another thrilling edition of the Mexicanist newsletter, where we'll be diving headfirst into Mexican current affairs. And boy, have we got a zesty mix for you today. First up, we've got a woman in charge of Mexico. Yes, after 503 years of blokes running the show, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum has taken the reins. It's like watching a Chihuahua suddenly sprout wings and fly – unexpected, but oddly satisfying.
Speaking of unexpected, Mexico's gone and turned itself into a proper economic powerhouse. They're building trains, reshaping trade, and generally making a nuisance of themselves on the global stage. But it's not all sunshine and tequila. We've got Venezuelan gangs infiltrating border towns, satanic cults after black cats (I'm not making this up), and drug cartels playing musical chairs with the US authorities.
On a lighter note, we'll be exploring Mexico's obsession with marigolds. Yes, flowers. Who knew? And if all that wasn't enough to make your head spin faster than a drunk mariachi, we've got haunted houses, ancient cocoa rituals, and the best places to watch the sun go down while sipping on an obscenely large margarita. Vamos!
