Marriage banns in Mexico

By Jack Brummet, Mexico Travel Ed.

I don't remember seeing these before in Mexico, but in the state of Baja California Sur, the Catholic Church still publishes marriage banns.  These were posted in the lobby of a church in Todos Santos. The banns more or less replace a marriage license and allow anyone to object to a wedding prior to its occurrence.  Most priests--in an article on banns I read--say they cannot recall anyone ever objecting.

Vikingo Video in Todos Santos

By Jack Brummet, North American Travel Ed.

At Vikingo Video,  three guys play rock non-stop.  They have, at most, a couple hundred DVDs in the tiny store.  I don't know how you'd rent a video, since they never stop playing and to browse you need to step over amps, cables, and cymbal stands. Maybe you wait for a set break.

What they might lack in chops, they more than make up for with enthusiasm and quantity.  I love these guys.
