Besame Mucho


There has been a campaign around town called "Besame Mucho"--just like the song. Evidently, on Valentine's Day, the city will attempt to break the Guinness World Record of most people kissing simultaneously. Event planners did this to make a statement against violence in Mexico and to send a message to lawmakers who have suggested banning kissing in the Zocalo.

We made it to the Zocalo--although a little late-- to see what was going on. We entered the huge mass but realized there was really nothing going on. Either we already missed it, or it hadn't happened yet.

So it was the latter, and the big official kiss took place at 6pm. Mexico City now holds the record! I don't think our entrance counted, but we were there. And that's more than alot can say!
