¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

I’ve been meaning to do a blog on our life “south of the border” for some time. In fact, it was one of my New Year’s resolutions. So with mid-February fast approaching maybe I should get started!

For my first post I’m going to go back to the first of the year and the New Year’s day parade. The folks here will find any excuse to put on a parade and New Year’s is one of the most whimsical, with a “float” for each of the ten past years as well as the current year.

Do you know what the following things have to do with the past ten years?

Men in Black
Clowns
Bees
Elves
A guy and a burro
Cavemen
A mime troupe
Medusa

Neither do I, but they were the themes of the floats this year. Below are some photos of floats and spectators in this year's parade. Look close and you may see that Obama came for a visit too...
