🕙🍂 Daylight Saving Time ends this Sunday, Nov. 1, at 2 a.m. (yup, Florida is still doing this).

Which one are you?

1. The one who wakes up checking your phone, then your appliances trying to figure out what time it actually is
2. The one leaving work at 5 p.m. on Monday saying, "Wow, it's so dark outside"
3. The one who hasn't changed the clock in their car since March
4. The one whose kids and pets have absolutely no respect for that extra hour of sleep 😂

🌎Global Connections 🌎

✨ Hoy celebramos el inicio del Mes de la Herencia Hispana y nos sentimos orgullosos de honrar las tradiciones, la cultura y las contribuciones de nuestra comunidad.

Tuvimos el honor de asistir a la celebración del 216.º Aniversario de la Independencia de México en el Consulado de México en Orlando.

Fue un evento hermoso y lleno de color, donde disfrutamos de música, baile y una gran muestra del orgullo y la riqueza cultural mexicana. 🇲🇽🎉

Agradecemos especialmente al Cónsul de México en Orlando, Iván Pliego Moreno por la amable invitación y por reunir a la comunidad en una celebración tan memorable. Fue una maravillosa manera de dar inicio a este mes tan significativo. 🇲🇽✨
