You witness the resplendent quetzal, jaguar, and howler monkeys that thrive in Guatemala's cloud forests and jungles.

Products of Nicaragua Day

You honor Nicaraguan cacao and coffee, crops that have shaped the nation's economy and daily life since colonial times and continue to be exported worldwide under brands like Café Soluble Nicaragüense. You appreciate how these beans represent both the country's agricultural soul and the morning ritual that connects every Nicaraguan to the land.

Regional/Cultural Day

Autumnal Equinox

In Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, the leaf-peepers arrive. They drive slowly on two-lane roads, stop in the middle of the highway to take photographs, and fill every bed and breakfast from Bennington to Bar Harbor. The locals are patient. The leaves are worth it. In the South, the equinox means the temperature drops from 97 to 93. In Texas, it means the temperature drops from 105 to 100. Fall in Texas is a suggestion, not a season.
