Olympics 2012: Mexico outfits at Opening Ceremony #FAIL???

By Teresa Puente, Monday at 6:31 pm

People tend to be patriotic during the Olympics.

The outfits the Mexican national team wore during the Opening Ceremony were widely criticized.

They were very colorful and used some of the traditional patterns worn by the indigenous of Mexico. But they were designed in bright neon pink, green and orange. They took traditional designs and symbols and made them modern.

They made the worst dressed lists of many and they were trashed on Twitter.

"The 2012 award for @Olympics costumes that looked like someone vomited pure neon all over you goes to…Mexico"
- @dongstoevky

"Que trajes mas feos uso Mexico en el Opening Ceremony de los Olympics, parecian piñatas lmao!!"

"The most ugly suits used by Mexico in the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics, they look like piñatas, lmao!!"
-@Ana_AKA

From Facebook:

"Hubiera sido mejor usar los originales trajes hechos de manos indigenas y no de disenadores que ridiculizaron nuestro folklore."

"It would have been better to use the original suits made by indigenous hands and not by designers that ridicule our folklore."
- Norai Pedraza

Personally,  my first impression was that the outfits were fun. I don't think they made fun of Mexican culture but they tried to celebrate it. They do border on tacky but they got the team noticed.

They certainly weren't worse than Germany's pink and blue jackets or the U.K. team's golden collars that reminded me of the FTD flower symbol.

Anyway, it's not about fashion but sports.

Men's Olympic Soccer 2012: Mexico vs. Gabon Recap; Dos Santos Propels Mexico to 2-0 Win

By David Salazar | First Posted: Jul 30, 2012 08:59 AM EDT

(Photo : REUTERS/Alessandro Garofalo) Mexico's Giovani dos Santos celebrates after scoring a penalty against Gabon during their men's Group B football match at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the City of Coventry Stadium July 29, 2012.

Mexico brought themselves one step closer to the semi-finals with a 2-0 win over Gabon Sunday.

The catalyst for their victory was superstar Giovanni Dos Santos who started the match on the bench.

The opening 45 minutes were equal as both teams traded opportunities at the end. Gabon exerted their physical style to create their chances while El Tri used their skill to create their own. Mexico controlled possession but Gabon looked dangerous with their speed on the counterattack.

At the start of the second half, Dos Santos finally made his appearance; twenty minutes before he had come on the pitch in the first match against Korea. As in the Korea match, he made a huge difference. Mexico immediately looked more aggressive and Gabon started to sit back and attempt to minimize the superstar's space. But it made no difference.

 In the 63^rd minute, Dos Santos took an Oribe Peralta feed and gave Mexico a 1-0 lead. Gabon rallied with a plethora of opportunities but did not capitalize. In waning moments, Henry Ndong received a second yellow card for roughing Peralta in the penalty area. Dos Santos used the subsequent penalty kick to double his team's score and secure their victory.

The win gives Mexico four points and ties them with Korea for the group lead. A tie puts them through to the quarter-finals and a win gives them the top spot in the group. A loss could put them in jeopardy of elimination however. Gabon must win against Korea by three goals and hope for a Mexican win or draw to ensure passage.

Huatulco Day Trip: Mazunte This Beach Town Is A Prime Example Of Sustainable Tourism

Huatulco Day Trip: Mazunte

This Beach Town Is A Prime Example Of Sustainable Tourism

Located approximately 45 minutes from Huatulco, you will find Mazunte, a beach town known for their sea turtle museum and organic cosmetic factory as well as their dramatic beaches and surf. Mazunte has really made a point of immersing themselves in the idea ofsustainable tourism, ensuring a long lasting stay in the tourist industry.

You have the option of starting your day off by grabbing a coffee at one of the beachfront palapa style restaurants so you can soak up the views of the morning surf. From there, you can make your way to the Sea Turtle Museum.

Mazunte Sea Turtle Museum

Prior to the banning of sea turtle hunting in 1990, sea turtles were killed in mass numbers, resulting in a huge decrease in population. Luckily, thanks to places like the Sea Turtle Center, the sea turtle population on the Oaxacan coast is greatly improving. Their main goal is to educate people on the importance of sustainability for protecting these creatures seeing as many types of sea turtles are still endangered to this day.

Hours and Price
The museum opens daily at 10:00 am and closes at 4:30 pm, with admission of $25 pesos a person, a very inexpensive option for a day tour. Be sure to pick up a brochure on your way in, as it is an excellent source of information on the center (Available in both English and Spanish). They also have a gift shop on site that is perfect for picking up a few souvenirs to take home.

Ecotourism in the area is doing wonders to make certain that local tourism does not come at the expense of the environment. This interesting and informative outing, supporting sustainable tourism is sure to open your eyes on the harm that can be done if we neglect to preserve the sea turtle population.

Perfect for kids, the museum attached to the center offers a variety of aquariums where you can view all types of turtles, both salt and fresh water. As you move along the guided tour, you will come across several turtles that have been rescued and are in the process of being rehabilitated.

This is one of the main missions of the center, by rehabilitating the sea turtles they hope to keep the numbers of these endangered species up. Outside the center are a series of tanks housing even more sea turtles and eggs.

As part of the up and coming trend of ecotourism in Mexico, the Mazunte Sea Turtle Center takes to the beaches annually to collect the eggs of endangered sea turtles. Taking them back to the center, they incubate the eggs to insure that they hatch before releasing them back into the wild. This process can be daunting and requires the help of volunteers, of which their are plenty.

Upon completing this tour, you can make your way to the small cosmetic factory that has made international news.

Cosméticos Naturales de Mazunte S. de S.S.

The Milagro de Mazunte Natural Cosmetics project was developed by the originator of The Body Shop, Anita Roddick. This project is aimed at helping those that lost their jobs due to the banning of sea turtle hunting in 1990 by providing them with employment.

Shop Local And Green At This Mazunte Cosmetics Boutique

Nestled in the quaint community known as Mazunte, this natural cosmetics shop offers a wide range of eco-friendly products. Established in the mid 90’s the boutique came to fruition after sea turtle hunting was banned in 1990, a ban that left nearly everyone in the area unemployed.

Luckily, in 1993 founder of The Body Shop Anita Roddick paid a visit to this small beachtown. Quickly falling in love with both the town and the people, the idea of a cosmetics shop was formed. 15 families from the community subsequently created the Cosméticos Naturales de Mazunte, S. de S.S.

A few years later, with the help of David Hitchen- a trained technician from The Body Shop – locals learned how to use the surrounding resources to their advantage. Learning how to mix, make, and mold organic ingredients into a variety of beauty products. It was this training that turned the Natural Cosmetics shop into the success it is today. The boutique sees each product from start to finish and truly defines the idea of sustainable tourism!
