Ballet Folclorico in San Juan Cosala

Our town of San Juan Cosala has two Ballet Folclorico groups. The other evening, one of them celebrated its second anniversary with a free public performance in the town plaza. Kelly had his camera along and got some interesting shots without flash.



The dancing was stunning, and it was fun to be sitting in the plaza as the light faded and the air cooled. People chatted between the performances. I learned that the woman I was sitting next to was the cousin of two different people I know. There was a lovely sense of community there. We are leaving for the US tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how much sense of community I find there. (I will also be posting blog entries about Mexico now and then, have written a bunch ahead!)
