I love walking through the sleepy village
as it awakens….
Rattle trap buses with expert drivers (look out NYC!) clanking over cobblestones
rooster crowing
dogs barking
clack-clacking of the tortilla machine spitting out perfect circles of corn
Sleepy faces smile – Buenos dias!
Old leather faced ladies peek from doorways
Store clerks with buckets of soapy water
thrown onto sidewalks outside their shops
brooms in hand…pride of place
Smell of hot, yeasty loaves & rolls fills the air
the bread man delivers
Coffee roasting nearby
fresh squeezed orange juice in clear plastic cups
to go – para llevar, por favor.
I love these people – this town – as it awakens
Time for class…enter the gate…sit in the chair
with doors open & light breeze blowing
spicy chilies on the comal next-door
Hola! Buenos dias! Adios! (Go with God!)
Bienvenido a Meh-e-co! Welcome to Mexico!
I felt like I was on the walk with you!! Taking in the sights and sounds and those smells of such things as fresh bread baking. Keep enjoying retirement and new adventures.
Hi! Thanks, Charlene. Wish you had been on that walk with me! thanks for your loyalty to my ever evolving blog. Miss you.
Beautiful, Chris!
Oh, dear Jane! I so miss you & am so very glad to hear from you. Sorry we missed seeing you on our Feb. visit. It’s a long story. Glad to have your email address. Guess I had it all along. Have thought of writing to you so often. Stay in touch!
Everyone looks so happy and content in these pictures. How lovely.
In general the Mexicans we meet are happy, friendly people. It’s so refreshing to have them respond readily. Of course there are some who are ill, physically or mentally, like anywhere else. We are grateful…..
