Searching for Los Reyes

Well, I tried, but to no avail.  The Tree Kings remained elusive.  I think I was once again too early besides being completely clueless what I was exactly looking for.  I did see signs for a fiesta so maybe all the action will continue this weekend.  This was as close I got to anything Tres Reyes, these nice roscas de Reyes at the market in Etla.  This is the first year in a while I have not gotten the little baby Jesus baked in the rosca.  I guess I don't need to supply tamales on Candelaria.
I took a side trip to Reys Etla, but it was completely empty.  Still, I got to do a little dance on this amazing dance floor.
And no matter where you are, it is always interesting. 
I am kicking myself that I did not ask her to pull down her mask. 
What is that mask from?  It looks so familiar.  "Anyone?  Anyone?... Bueller?"

  2. Yes!! I kept thinking of the aliens from The Fifth Element, but it is definitely from Predator.... maybe Max built on the design.
