Here's a snake that was on the fence near where i was working on the palapa. it occured to me that it might just be waiting for the palapa to be done so it could go on up there.

A view of our house from the top of the bull ring. Our house is the low white one on the left in the group of three on the hill in the distance. I was at a rodeo when I took this. Nothing much was happening so i decided to go to the top level and see what views i could from there. It was quite neat as the bull ring is the highest thing, other than a few roof top palapas, in la penita. on one side of the bull ring, behind high walls so not visible from the street, were cages of fighting cocks. I haven't heard much about this but i'm sure cock fights go on all the time. maybe even in the bullring as the big sodium lights are on most nights. Mexico is still a big mystery to me, which is fun.
