Merida Events: Booksigning in Merida!
We think the most important event this week will be our Booksigning Event at Hennessy's, December 8 at 7 pm. If you bought your book for delivery in Merida, come and get it! We'll hav some cochinita tacos for the first fifty or so people who show up! (You buy your own drinks, of course). Yes, I'll sign your book if you want. And what's more, even if you didn't get your book yet, come look at the book! I take credit cards (on the spot if you have a card from the USA) or cash, $40 USD or $700 pesos per book, plus shipping/handling to your US or Canada mailing address.
It's possible I may have more available in the spring, but if you want to give them as a present, and they make GREAT Christmas presents, then you should order yours now.
Of course, you don't have to come SEE the book if you already know you want it. Just click here, scroll to the bottom of the page, and order your book (s) right now!
Oh, is there more going on this week? Ohmigoodness, YES! Trova, dance, Hennessy's birthday, concerts, wine tasting, la Virgen, the Chaya Fest... Merida is alive!
