Sunday in Mexico




can you see the bell ringers?


why NOT arrange fallen fruit in a wall?










Sunday is an especially beautiful day in Mexico.  I woke up to another spectacular, crystalline day with the same indigo sky, but now with a certain quiet.  I met Rikki in town for breakfast at Pegaso which was great, and then just took in all the sights of this day.   Church bells ringing especially powerfully, the Jardin was filled with couples dancing, shops filled with families from Mexico City enjoying their time here, and then Parque Juarez with more families; blowing bubbles, playing basketball, observing a religious ceremony in the gazebo, and young lovers on every bench.
