First Day of Spring Celebrations

Today the spring equinox brings more festivities to the streets of San Miguel.  Walking up to the Jardin this morning I was greeted by hundreds of children marching in costumes representing the abundance of spring:  little farmers, green trees, flowers, birds, bees and animals of every stripe.







When I arrived for my Spanish class I found it had been replaced with a special celebration featuring traditional dancers and refreshments for all
 Miguel, my teacher introducing the dancers
 The concha, or armadillo shell guitar

Notice the eagle feet and head of his headdress
