Guys wearing paper mâché heads dancing to the music from the pick up truck speakers.
Women carrying a litter with bags of something,rice maybe? Others carrying squash and flowers were part of the parade.
At the head of the parade a glass case with saint?
This is one of the awesome things about San Miguel. Stuff like this just happens out of the blue. It's mysterious and fascinating.
The dancers there to perform the indigenous dances seemed very serious. I don't know why.
Well this one lady and her little boy had smiles.
Even the kids were taking this seriously.
The costumes seemed to be those of warriors, with buckskin, fringe, feathers, and fur with the occasional skull thrown in for good measure.
Yet another day, yet another spectacle. This day a group of nuns stood before the cathedral for about an hour saying the Lord's Prayer in Spanish and singing songs and clapping. One nun had a guitar. I could not help but think of Sally Field and the flying nun.
Also in the Jardin (main plaza) you will always find someone or something of interest. You might just think this is an ugly dog, but actually it is an ancient breed of hairless dog from the days of the Aztecs. The "Xolo" breed has been around for at least 3,000 years and is known as the national breed of Mexico. The young man who owned him was quite proud of him.
In my experience the best way to conclude a visit to the plaza is with an ice cream cone. Mexican vanilla is my favorite.
