La Penita, March 2016

checking out an old hacienda in Ixtapa de Conception, just north of Chacala. Locals tell us of the German families who are descendants of some of the early folks here.









Stopped for watermelon and pineapple, grand total 5 pesos, that would be 40 cents Canadian!


Our favourite grocery store in la Penita

Here comes the parade!! Primavera Parade with young children as the participants

Folks waiting to see all the preschools represented by their king and queen




Apparently all school aged children are involved in Revolution Day parade in November so these little folks have their chance in the Spring parade, usually held on March 21 but today was the last day of school for Semana Santa, maybe that is why it is a few days early or maybe because of Palm Sunday parade being closer to March 21? Just guesses 








Not sure about the toque on the little guy in 26 degree temperatures

Charming little king!

Definitely one real leader for the hula dance, maybe even bossy, too cute.



Ahoy maties!
Aladdin out front kept flexing his muscles but I kept missing the shot!



From our casita
