With my friends Sandy, Harriet, Paul and John, I combined a birthday celebration with an Independencia buffet and mariachi concert at Agustin’s restaurant Viva Mexico. Fun, fun.

Heart of a Small Pueblo

I wrote to this question for an article in “Mexico Insights” (a now defunct magazine)  a few years ago–long before I started blogging; and although I’ve printed the story once before on my blog, I think it warrants a second retelling.  Go HERE to read a story about a remarkable man.  Since I wrote this piece, he has gone on to found a 150 piece children’s orchestra and a children’s chorus that I talked about in another story. His is the restaurant where we staged the week-long Camp Estrella and where I’ll have 160 children decorate sugar skulls for Dia de los Muertos next week.  His restaurant is the hub and heart of our little town.
