Today people carried small bunches of braided palm fronds in the streets of Guanajuato as they walked to and from church to commemorate Palm Sunday. We were following our own Sunday ritual of sitting in the sun on the steps of Teatro Juarez, drinking coffee and reading the local newspaper - engrossed this morning by an important column regarding last week's visit by a large contingency of President Obama's cabinet to México City to meet with President Felipe Calderón - when two different religious processions passed, each led by a figure dressed as Christ, riding a burro, and followed by people carrying palms and singing. Each headed to a different church.
A little later, another procession passed: a small ATV pulling a wooden wagon filled with a mini-rock band cheerfully playing drums and guitars and a tambourine - and wearing lucha libre wrestling masks - and promoting the university's book fair.
Good place for enjoyment, thanks a lot dude.
