Gran Hotel Diligencias Veracruz

... failure. To further my cathartic coping I confessed my failure and stupidity to the vendor. She listened graciously. Then in her eyes I saw a glimmer of hope. She told me that I had missed one running but there would be yet another! I put my half-eaten taco down on the plate, looked at her questioningly and she reassured me, "Sie, sie, Joven (young guy)."

We started at the Zocala (a massive plaza with amazing buildings around the edges) where something was going on with lots of red, white and green tinsel and the flag of Mexico on one of th buildings. We don't know what was being celebrated, but I will have to find ...
