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
