Tepoztlan, Mexico Annual Fiesta


 Every year at the end of the first week in September, Tepoztlan has its town festival. This runs over several days and includes diverse elements: processions, performance, art, and ritual. There is a sundown hike to the pyramid and a ritual there. The marketplace is cleared and a performance stage erected. One play features the mythological story of the origin  of the city. There are many parades. The arched entrance to the churchyard has its very decorative mosaic, composed entirely of beans of different shapes, colors and sizes, entirely removed and then replaced. A truly joyous affair!

Even Eagles Need a Push Movie

Even Eagles Need a Push Movie: We've all seen it, or felt it, at some point in our life; how just one moment of encouragement can change a life forever. It can be the greatest gift you'll ever give...or receive.

Some of My Houseplants

Sadly to say, there is no land outside my rented room to grow plants. The door enters directly into the street, and other sides are drop offs. Of course there are advantages. More photos of these plants upcoming. The sequel to The Bumpy Road may be called Travels and Travails of a Gringo Gardener.
Is this a good title?
