A Taste of New Mexican Culture

These were taken at the Old Mesilla Plaza in New Mexico.

Dancers
I asked the littlest girl if I could take her picture and within 3 seconds she'd organized the group! Haha! So cute.

Bikers
"Bikers". How could I NOT ask to take their picture with the promise that I'd send them one?! Just standing there in a perfect spot, listening to the Mariachis.

A Perfect Scene
"A Perfect Scene". Mariachis & Dancers get together here every weekend from September through November. This Plaza is where Billy the Kid was convicted to hang. Site of the Butterfield Stage Line. Site of the Gadsden Purchase. So historic and appropriate for this kind of activity!
