Christmas Eve 2005




This is one of the only pictures I have of Christmas Eve...Beto helping the neighboors wash the sidewalks. They do it every year, only to totally trash the streets worse than before a few house later with fireworks lasting all day and into the wee morning hours. We ate our "Christmas dinner" at midnight. They celebrate Christmas the 24th instead of the 25th. Very different. Let's just say it was the loudest Christmas Eve I've ever had.
The building is of the National Palace in the city center which I don't think is home to anyone now, except some art merchants during the day. And the beautiful fountain across the street.
