everyone was getting into the Christmas spirit, Santa rode around the square waving at everyone.

more of the centro.

another church.

this is called tapetes de aserrin.  It's a design on the street made out of dyed wood chips.  It was super intricate and all I could think about was how lucky it was that it wasn't a windy day.

Church of Our Lady of Guadelupe. 

Tomorrow is the day the Virgin of Guadelupe appeared to Juan Diego so all of this is part of the celebration.


This is all tiny wood chips also.  Like I said, super intricate.

It went ALL the way down the street only stopping for intersections.
