Thanks to Bacalar local and chef extraordinaire Jey Mazumder, Lisa and I had an opportunity to celebrate the Hindu festival of Diwali and partake of an Indian feast among new friends.
“What is Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and how is it celebrated in India and the diaspora? Diwali is the most important festival of the year in India — and for Hindus in particular. It is celebrated across faiths by more than a billion people in the world’s most populous nation and the diaspora.” Google
Diwali is celebrated differently around the world. It usually lasts a few days and involves house cleaning, lighting candles, and the Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi. In Bacalar we celebrated by eating.
It had been raining all day and we appreciated the break to feast and dodge mosquitoes. Happy Diwali to all.

Diwali is a big deal here and usually involves fireworks. The festival coincides with Guy Fawkes Night which also involves lots of fireworks. Great to watch, not so great for pets, sadly.

Most of Mexico is huge on fireworks. Not so much here. I am very grateful.
