Trip to Tuxpan
On Saturday, several of us drove to Tuxpan, about 100 km away, for a dance fiesta. Unfortunately our timing was a bit off -- no fiesta today. We did enjoy watching the dancers rehearse. They were casually dressed, but the men wore their high-heeled boots so they could set the beat as they stomped out each note. They were bubbling over with good-natured energy.
Inside the cultural centre, art classes were in progress for both children and adults. A woman demonstrated how to set up a loom to weave a rebozo. These beautiful hand-made shawls can often be purchased in the markets for less than $20.

Very interesting! Going to Frida at AGO - she was a big fan of rebozo. Love the first photo!
