Day of the Dead Parade

WHERE ARE WE? Numero Uno RV Park, La Penita, Mexico

Had to head uptown right after lunch to get me a haircut.  The town is still quite quiet because most of the snowbirds are not here yet and the locals all go uptown after supper when it is cooler.  Anyway I was getting shaggy so had no choice.



Rose insisted that I take a picture even if my eyes were not open.  lol

I spent the afternoon doing what I do best.


There is a Day of the Dead parade in town tonight.  It was supposed to start at 5 but in Mexico that never happens.  We knew that so we decided to have supper while we waited.  About 6:30 we heard the parade coming.  It was a very nice parade with many memorials and many people dressed up in the day of the dead fashion.

I love the fizzy apple juice.

This is Kenia's friend that was killed last year in a motorcycle accident


The street by where we were watching was full of birds so I went to investigate.  The Purple Martins are back!!!  They were not here last year so I was happy to see them.  Thousands of them on every wire.



After the parade we headed over to the Cafecito and Katherine was there.  There was lots of activity in the Plaza so we took her to enjoy it.  


Well that was it for today.  We will try it again tomorrow.  Good Nite from me and Kathrine!!

  2. Where do those purple martins live? Just on a wire?? I had many in my purple martin houses here on the farm. My dad makes houses, I had two last year and will be three next year!! I love to hear them in the morning.
