After Monday in Delores Hidalgo, Lucille and I decided to just walk around El Centro in SMA and enjoy the sights on her last day.
Another gorgeous park.
This is the church all pregnant women visit to pray for a safe delivery and healthy baby. Church of our Lady of Good Health.
Side view of Church of St. Francis
What the well dressed Latina drives.
We found the large market just north of El Jardin - the garden across from the large church that is considered the heart of SMA. In this market you can find food, tires, jewlery, clothing, etc. The only thing I didn't see was electronics. I do not understand their business model. There were rows and rows of stalls all selling the same stuff and at the same price. I guess it works but how?
Bicycle tires next to boots - typical of the "organization" of the market.
Poster seen in the market. They still kill the bulls in Mexico so I think I'll skip this event. Going native does have its limits.
The Madonna of the Market (not anything you'd see in Safeway, etc.)
Lunch was at the Biblioteca.
Lucille at lunch.
We don't just go from 1 place where we eat to the next, but I didn't take a lot of photos this afternoon.
For her last dinner in SMA, we went to the fancy hotel in our neighbor, HRS.
Another 1st - a Rotary celebration of Octoberfest - a pool party!
I won't be going.
Wednesday I had some time on my own - time to do the laundry and some other basic chores. I was fortunate to be invited to a dinner party given by a friend who has been spending time in SMA for 20 years and 2 years ago moved here permanently.
Judith Hightower from Austin, Louise Levy from North Carolina but lived in Baltimore for many years, Jo Cartwright from Dallas, and Lorraine Flett from Scotland. A lively group of strong women.
Judith's sweet little Bear. Dogs may be mandatory in SMA because everyone seems to have 1.
