Swarm Blackout Parade


I was doing my best to upload the blog from Casa Mayor on the night before Mexican Independence Day when a little parade with beauty queens and marching school children came by in downtown Crucecita.


Just at dusk that night we had a blackout. These birds swarm the downtown telephone lines every night at this hour for some reason. It´s quite a phenomenon. Local store owners give a little clap and they flap around before lighting again. Maybe you have to be there. It´s a bit of a show and there are nightly performances all year long.
