Carnival

Streets full of kiosks selling cheap junk,

zocalo invaded by tilt-a-whirl and merry-go-round,

at night packed with drunks and pick pockets,

fiesta feeding frenzy of fun...there will likely be

a few deaths...Chenelos, dancing human puppets

mocking ancient European invaders....a rehash of

Mexican history of the last 800 years played out

in the streets ....

No deaths but wind and rain blew through the

first night...the last night I  sat with Max in a cafe

people swarming around...it was fun, and I met my

next future wife (joke) but I could have done...

carnival got me in it's grip of fun.
