We attended one techno party with some great DJs in a park one sunny afternoon (a strange but wonderful experience that later spilled into a nearby club...a total of 12 hours in a row of dancing to some great music with a hip, friendly, and exhausted crew of people from all over Mexico).

We walk up to the main area, visit a gallery, shop a bit, sit in the Jardin and look at the lighted Parroquia (church) and people watch. Maybe we stop for something to eat.

We fall asleep every night to the sound of fireworks and Banda music after poorly played chess games or epic cribbage tournaments. We hope everybody else is having a fun holiday season.

Love to all. Rick, Raederle, and Sucia.
