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.

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