Don’t ask me why this bird captured my interest given everything else that was going on during yesterday’s “No Kings” rally, but it did. It was part of the surround of the gazebo in the center of Ajijic Plaza, where the speakers and musicians were standing. Propped behind it is a sign rested there by its carrier who was busy listening to speeches. I was listening as well, but couldn’t keep my eyes from straying.
For Cellpic Sunday
This beautiful display is a closeup of part of the display in front of the Jardin Restaurant in the Ajijic Plaza. Here is another full view:
For Cee’s FOTD
Halloween in Mexico
LOUD constant cherrybomb-level explosions that went on for hours, a few dozen feet from where I was docenting the art show, flags on the oldest church in town, LOUD banda music, shopping in the plaza stands, construction of the towering castillo for the night’s firework display, flowers, toys, signs directing dogs to be polite and not pee in the flowers and plants, doggies in full regalia, senoritas in full regalia, wild socks and shoes that were not part of a costume, a gourmet feast at Viva Mexico, Children’s chorus, Agustin’s solo with the children’s choir, a dead bread vendor (a vendor selling dead bread, not a deceased vendor) breaks out into opera and steals the show, tequila samples, women selling adorable knitted hats in the form of ninja turtles, lambs and frogs, tap dancing skeletons, children streaming by in the streets to trick and treat or lining up for face painting. All this and Day of the Dead hasn’t even started!!!
