A Typical Tuesday Night in Coyoacan

Ken, our friend Juan, and I went to the mercado to grab a taco or two.  I wanted them to try this delicious ice cream from a new store.  While walking there, we came upon five men dressed totally in black....no Rep. Poe, they were not members of a drug cartel, but musicians!  They started across the square...a sixth man joined them...and this one was carrying a birthday cake! They seemed to be going in our direction. Just as we reached the door of the ice cream parlor, the baker lit the candles on the cake,  and the band launched into the beautiful Mexican "Happy Birthday" song...right to the young ice cream scooper!

Once again,  I gave thanks for being in this amazing country.  The musicians played many songs...people danced outside the ice cream store...everyone applauded...and we got our ice creams.

There are beautiful moments every single day here in Mexico!  You just have to keep your eyes open and follow the music.
