Dirty Bird?

It would be rash to conclude that the pigeons who regard General Allende's statue as their home away from home display disrespect for the General in spite of appearances. I have given this a good deal of thought while lounging in the Plaza Cívica Ignacio Allende, this business of pigeons perching on statues being the worldwide phenomenon that it is and has been throughout the history of outdoor statuary.

The Market

Vast. Hot. Dusty. Crowded. Chaotic. Impossible to photograph because of those colored, plastic tarpaulins hung for the shade that cast hues. Tianguis de martes. The Tuesday market. My market. Every Tuesday. I love it.

¡Video!

I know. I know. This blog has been sludge slow recently. However, not so today. I have a video for you!

There are neighborhood fiestas here as well as city-wide fiestas, state-wide fiestas, and national fiestas. Yesterday was the last day of the big neighborhood fiesta of the year here. My neighborhood is called colonia san antonio. Saint Anthony walks the streets here and is a big personality. This was his time, and it lasted all last week. All last week.
