Holiday in Mexico February 5


Today was the 91st anniversary of the Constitution of Mexico and Mexicans like to have any excuse to have a party! In Ajijic they had a parade with floats, horses, one donkey, and lots of people dressed up in costumes and masks. The people in the parade were throwing confetti, candy and white powder (which I think was flour or something similar) at the crowds. The narrow streets were jamed, there was barely room for the floats to go by.

I was hoping to see Jerry in the photos. How's the weather now? It's still below freezing here most of the time. Today is sunny though.

Nice pictures, Gosh you two get to see a lot. How nice.
I am thinking of the mess after the parade is over and done with. Wonder who has to clean that. I guess the town maintenance. I am so glad you are enjoying yourselfs.
