Once i was in Cuernavaca, Mexico, chatting with a girl that I really fancied. As we strolled down the street we heard a melodious sound behind us. A traditional Mexican combo, called a mariachi band, was also strolling the street. I took it as a sign from the heavens that the blonde and I were meant to enjoy romance. It was as though we had hired the band to serenade us, but their appearance was simple fortune.
I never saw the girl again.
"Usually a mariachi consists of at least two violins, two trumpets, one Spanish guitar, one vihuela (a high-pitched, five-string guitar) and one guitarrón (a small-scaled acoustic bass), but sometimes featuring more than twenty musicians. The original Mariachi were Mexican street musicians or buskers," says Wikiepdia.org.

While tourism is well known part of the mexican economy, petroleum might be called the hidden resource of Mexico. Wikipedia says, "Mexico has a free market economy, and is firmly established as an upper middle-income country[13] with the highest per capita income in nominal terms in Latin America,[14], and it is the 13th largest economy in the world as measured in Gross Domestic Product in purchasing power parity."
