He played so beautifully while sitting on a sidewalk in Patzcuaro…
sight impaired and so trying to make a living…
Oh how I could’ve taken this one home with me….
a sweetheart…just walking the streets of Patzcuaro…
The next day I caught him napping in the jardin…
Her mom was the restroom attendant at the House of Eleven Patios in Patzcuaro…
and she waited so patiently…
What a cutie pie sitting on the steps of the Universidad de Guanajuato…loved his glasses!
omg…a little cherub just playing in a store front entryway in Patzcuaro…
Oh look!
Doc Severinsen, Gil Gutierrez and the San Miguel Five playing at an intimate venue in San Miguel de Allende…
Hard to imagine that Doc is 87 years old and still going strong!
“On the Streets” of San Miguel de Allende
Bill Cunningham and Scott Schuman would’ve loved him!
Occupied while her mom opened up her souvenir shop in the centro of Patzcuaro…
Another sweetheart sitting in front of the church in Atotonilco…
Looking through a door slat at a local in Tzintzuntzan…
And another selling produce on the streets of Guanajuato…
We had a great chat without either of us understanding a word…
I sat down beside her…showed her the photo in my camera…
and she just laughed out loud while speaking Spanish a mile a minute!
And of course these adorable little swallow peeps in Santa Rosa…
