I've been so busy in the garden the past few delightful spring days...haven't spent much time at the computer, much less working on any of my photos. However, here's some highlights of our recent visit to Mexico:
View from our balcony, looking south.
First of all, let me be very clear, lest somebody takes umbridge--I love Mexico! Our hotel sits right on the beach, so we get to do a whole lotta people watching. I usually make silly lists, one of which is mostly beach-oriented observations, accompanied by photographic proof when available:
Things Mexicans do that I find amusing (and/or curious):
1) They roll in the sand on the beach when they're wet.
2) They dig big holes on the beach and stand in them.
3) They swim (or get into the water) with their clothes on.
4) They bury each other in sand.
5) They think clowns are hilarious. (Sorry, no pics--too hideous!)
6) They stack rocks and stones into towers.
Our husbands couldn't figure out at first why my friend & I kept taking photos of all the rock towers.
7) They embrace--and then hold that pose..."pose kissing."
8) They carry trays of baked goods on their heads!
9) They love the song, Stand By Me. I know not why; you hear it everywhere.
10) They love pinatas, in any shape or form you can imagine.
Makes me wonder if the pinata shared any likeness with the birthday girl.
If so, when it came to punching time, wouldn't that be a bit weird?!
11) They're obsessed with sand sculptures.
12) Bus drivers decorate their buses with a lot of fringe.
13) They have roadside shrines, complete with offertory boxes.
14) And, most of all, they work very, very hard and they know how to appreciate a very good time!
LOVE the sculpture...mmmm.mmmm.mmm. Yes. Love the sculpture! ;o) Where did you stay in Mexico? You were gone a while! Lucky gal!
