Dolores Hidalgo
 Dolores Hidalgo is one of Mexico´s colonial treasures, and offers visitors a unique window into its historical past. Shopping, colonial attractions and unique cuisine are but a few of the many things this charming town has to offer.
Dolores is one of the most important towns historically in all of Mexico. On the night of September 15, 1810, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, the 57-year-old parish priest of Dolores, and Ignacio Allende learned that their plans for insurrection against Spain had been discovered.
They decided to act immediately and soon after dawn the next morning, September 16, Padre Hidalgo delivered his now famous Grito (Cry for Freedom) from the Parroquia of Dolores. This was the beginning of Mexico's struggle for freedom from Spanish rule which was to drag on until 1824 and take some 600,000 lives.

GOOD MANNERS CANINE STYLE
By Charlotte Peltz
 When we are introduced to a person we usually step towards the person, make eye contact, smile and reach out our hand.
If we greet a person we already know we may replace the outreached hand with a great hug and pat on the back.
