Whew, what a time! I'm just trying to catch up from last week's festivities in Teotitlan del Valle. It is always fun watching the young girls and women arrive for the convite or procession that occurs several times each year for the religious festivals.
Seeing as though I am always at least an hour early every time, I get to watch the patio in front of the church go from empty to full as the arrivals proceed.
No matter what, it is always a visual treat, a happy and meaningful time and a real mood elevator.
It is a tradition that draws not only from the village, but many return from the States and other parts of Mexico to participate. We're almost ready to go and she's all set to lead the procession
But first, I love the look on these girls' faces. "C'mon, buddy, take the picture already."
Much more in a bit, los danzantes and a wonderful party.
