Christmas with Ejerctio de Salvacion


The Salvation Army came to the Park
with school children form an orphanage to entertain the gringos with singing and dancing - the most colorful dance was with Jalisco Marriachi costumes.


They did dances characteristic of different states in Mexico - and the one from here, Sinaloa, used the same type of crazy music you may remember from the video: hitting, blowing and plugging all instruments at the same time and hard.


In town it is sometimes a bit sad: there are now many people sitting along the roadsides before the shops begging... and unfortunately they look like they really need it: an old man with no eyes and no hands jerking around his collection box between his stumps of arms, a young girl looking miserable and sad, a lady with a

baby suckling, in poor clothing. What can
you do? Drop a few pesos, I guess...


The kids loved it and were all rewarded with some food and a collection for the Home...

Felice Navidad!
