Although the true Equinox was yesterday (March 20 this year,) in most parts of Mexico people continue to celebrate on the 21st every year. This morning, across the country, people gathered at ancient pyramids, beaches or other beautiful and meaningful places to welcome the spring at sunrise.<\/p>\n
