Dressed for the Fiesta

The officer was right; I could wear a bigote, too.

When I emailed this photo to my mother last night, she kindly suggested that this might not be the look for me.

Although I could not get a photo, this is the same size mustache children were wearing. It is one size fits all, and Zapata really put the big in bigote.

I found that most people were willing to pose — or to have their children pose — for me when I asked and when they were dressed up for the occasion. In fact, many would fix their children or themselves for the photo. And, they always wanted to see what it looked like on the camera screen.

I was especially grateful to the man who let me take a photo of him with and without his mustache.

I was only, very politely, told no when I requested to take a photo of a small girl in a beautiful blue falda (skirt), and it was only because the little she was extraordinarily shy.

I like practicing my Spanish with strangers, and they are super helpful when they can be. I am wholeheartedly grateful.
