Weren't here for Day of the Kings, Jan 5-6?

See more of my photos of the eve when children send up their Want List to the three kings by balloon and  the Kings as they appeared on Guanajuato's main street the next day. At REDROOM, type my name in the search box and then click the third entry for my blog.

Celebrating rain, Guanajuato Turns into Disneyland

The Presa opening finally took place when the mayor was back from Paris and could play his part in marking the occasion. Hundreds, maybe thousands, attended. No one works on the day except the ambitious, hardworking vendors of everything from food to rides for the kiddies to rainwear. Also special bread from Acamabaro, hotdogs, enchiladas, micheladas, you name it on this largely family occasion. And yes, rain fell. I sat under an awning eating enchiladas.
