Ballet Folklorico

Saturday night, September 1, while Mindy and Mark were here, we went to Chapala with some friends to see this dance troup from Vera Cruz and to hear some mariachi bands. Chapala is the center of the municipality here along the north side of the lake and the largest town. The dancers were terrific, taking a break to change costumes. Unfortunately, because of an accident that overturned their van on the way to Chapala, the mariachis didn't make it. When we left, all we knew was that there had been an accident but no idea of the extent. It sounded serious. Later in the week, we learned that no one had been hurt, and we got to hear the mariachis at the correada and at the plaza. Que bueno! Sorry the pictures aren't better-- anyway, click here.
