I founded a bi-lingual indie bookstore in a fishing village on the Mexican Caribbean coast in 1997. At the time (and not much has changed) Quintana Roo, the state Cancun is in, had only 6 bookstores. We sold but it’s in good hands and still going strong. Alma Libre Libros—Free Spirit Books.Probably the best decision I ever made— to open one. There were none around and I’m an avid reader. But if you build it, they will come. Your post is a good reminder for people to connect with their local bookseller.
That's amazing!! I've been down to Cancun once before, but sadly didn't make much further than the beach. Thank you for bringing the joy of small bookstores to Quintana Roo!
I'd love to send you a photo but don't think I can do it here. It was just, dare I say, Darling! And so loved by the community. People came from Chetumal (at the border of Belize!) to buy books from us. It was a wonderful experience and the new people are wonderful.

That’s so wonderful to hear!! I haven’t been back to Cancun in years but if I ever make it back I’ll know where to go.
I once ran a relay race and the 6 of us had about 10 total pairs of Goodr sunglasses. You can't have too many!
Never!!!
I for sure googled illuminate winter night 🤩
