Skulls / Calaveras

This morning I ran into a taco stand piled high with sheep skulls. The proprieter told me they had been wrapped in leaves of the Maguey plant, and slow cooked in an underground oven. I ordered a taco, and he took a skull from the pile, broke it open with two brutal strikes of a cleaver, pulled out the meat from inside, fried it for about 45 seconds and handed me the sweetest, most delicate cabeza I've ever tasted. Topped with a little chile habanero, onion, and lime, it was taco heaven.

Este mañana encontré una taquería con un montán de calaveras de cordero. El propietario me dijo que cocinaron en horno bajo la tierra, envuelto con las pincas de maguey. Pidí un taco, y el tomó un calavera, la rompó con dos golpes brutales de su cuchilla, sacó la carne y la freió por unos 45 segundos. Luego me dió la mas dulce, mas delicato cabeza que yo he probado. Con un poco chile habanero, cebolla, y limon, era buenisimo!









Later, on the way home, I found this nice gentleman who allowed me to take his portrait.


Mas tarde, cuando caminaba a me casa, econtré este simpatico caballero que me permitó sacar un retrato a el.

Youth of Mexico / Jovenes de México

Today there was a punk/ska/pop concert in the Zocalo, the central square here in Mexico City. I don't know how many thousands of youths from DF showed up to dance and scream and be seen.

Hoy era un concierto de punk/ska y pop en el Zócalo. Yo no se cuante miles de jovenes de DF aparecieron a bailar, gritar y verse.

Without Power / Sin electricidad

Did some photography last night. First, went to a neighbors street stand, that's him on the left, they call him chino. Below is him with his wife.

Saqué algunas fotos anoche. Primero, fui a la tiendita de un vecino, se llaman Chino. Esta el a la izquierda, y de bajo con su espoza.




Then the power went off in the neighborhood because of a rains storm, so I photographed some other neighbors working by candlelight.

Luego la electricidad fue por la lluvia, entonces saqué fotos de otro vecinos trabajando por la luz de belas.



And finally, the power crew showed up to repair the transducer that had blown.

Y por fin, los electricistas aparacieron para arreglar la electricidad.
