Ugh.  Well the general consensus is that it was for the greater good.  Probably that’s true but it’s still disappointing. After the first week and a half of the Feria de San Marcos, the festival was cancelled.  I think people were worried about the festival grounds being a place for the swine flu to spread. Fortunately, no one in Aguascalientes came down with the flu and although we saw lots of masks in town and at the hostel no one here had any problems. The first week and a half were great.  The hostel was filled to capacity plus a few extra beds that we brought in.  But now things are slower since the festival is off and most people are staying at home. But really – no one here got sick and so we’re hoping that things will pick up again soon.
