"You see my cow?"


"Sol" beer samples

A funny thing happened the other day. Upon driving through the city we found our car caught in the middle of a parade. Sorry, actually that is not at all uncommon in Mexico. This particular parade, however, was celebrating the patron saint of our city. You see in Mexico, every city has a saint that is believed to watch over that particular city. If your saint is a powerful one, then your city will be well protected and prosper.

This particular celebration of the saint of Tlaxiaco was the most elaborate we'd seen yet. Lots of throwing candy and processions of flowers and framed saint pictures. There were many livestock trucks with cows being showcased. One driver that passed our window wanted to use his English and said, "You see my cow?" He was a proud bovine chauffeur.
