On the Feast Day of la Virgen de Guadalupe, I drove the back roads near my house and ended up just where I planned, in Tres Reyes, a small village just west of Etla. I had heard the church was special and it was. This is the palacio municipal, a handsome building, classic.
The whole surrounding layout had a nice design and feel to it. These guys were having such a good time.
They asked me how it looked. "Perfecto."
The wide open plaza led to a shaded zocalo and the front of the church.
Every church is different.
This one is so beautifully painted, with none of the dark and tortured figures you so often see.
It felt like a happy place.
Or maybe that was just me. Some of the presentations celebrating the day.
The virgin came in many forms.
Even Christ looked happy.
