The city is getting ready for its independence celebration:
Flags hang everywhere,
the street vendors that usually peddle candy and cigaretts are now selling red, green and white trinkets;
my friend Gaby has been practicing her dance steps (mmm . . . zapatadas, I think she calls them.);
I bought an embroidered top and a dancing skirt for Selma;
I found something that will work just right to paint a little mexican mustache on Josu.
Tomorrow the festivities begin!

  2. so seriously - - I was totally thinking of hanging one up permanently behind the couch! I'm forming my idea . . . I was thinking of getting a collection of lovely mexican things (and maybe some spanish things) and framing them and clustering them over the couch. what do you think? maybe you should come down and help me!
    p.s. you have good taste :)
