PROTEST! PROTEST!
-Having trouble uploading pictures so 'imagine' a large cactus, eh!

The Americans have themselves in a 'prickly' situation----Again! We are off this morning to join in the protest march on the American Consulate, for the Mexican Immigrants, so if you do not receive any electronic messages tommorrow it can only mean we are behind bars. Brrings back memories of the 60's, eh--long hair, marches, singing songs, Woodstock ( I was oh, so close to going!)

All that being said the weekend was an ongoing series of parties, concerts, parades, and fireworks.

-Italian version of the Nylons, singing classical stuff, in the Jardin.
-Mexico's version of the Sea Cadet Bugle Band.
-BIG political party, bands, free food, singing, dancing.
-When I arrived back at the Casa Young, there was a local festival taking place, blocking off the whole street--large puppets, bands, native dancers, and more firworks.

Well, it's off to the march, hope to see you soon!

Adios

PS--side note on the fireworks, as may have been said before--good thing everything here is made of stone or they would have burned the city down years ago.

Basically the pyromaniacs come along, set up these 6 inch vertical pipes, stuff 'stuff' into them and BOOM--people standing 5-10 feet away. After they go up, explode, down comes all the left over stuff--scary.
