Roll With The Zih

Lupita's mother, Doña Rosa Farías de Bravo, was a devout Guadalupana, and it was thanks in large part to her efforts that we have the church Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe on Calle Cinco de Mayo. So last evening when my wife was with some neighbors making their pilgrimage to the church with their image of Guadalupe, it was more than a little disrespectful when someone in the ayuntamiento's group of "pilgrims" had the nerve to ask my wife and the small group she was with the let them pass on the street, to which my wife innocently replied that this was not a line at the grocery store. Her tone innocent yet scolding at the same time. The spokesman for the larger group quickly realized his impropriety, and good karma prevailed.

This is as Guadalupana as they come. Wow!

Everyone appears quite giddy with the Christmas decorations the municipal government put up. Folks are flocking to el Centro, especially the museum area and the zócalo to take their photos with all the lights.

Looks like the pilotes are mostly set. Just a few more to go. There also appears to be several meters of pier well under construction on top of pilotes already cut down to size.
