Last try

I've tried something different and will attempt to post the last DF missive one more time.  Please let me know if there are still problems with pictures.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This brings us to the end of DF 2020.  It was another very enjoyable time in the monster city though it was cut a bit short.  I'm hoping to return but, for now, we are facing an unknown future.  It's a new world.

Here are a few random photos that didn't find their way into earlier posts.

At the Museum of Archival photography, a regular stop of mine, was an outstanding exhibit of photographs by Lorenzo Armendáriz, of gypsies from all over the world and, surprising to me, a lot from Mexico.  I guess there is a large contingent of gypsies in northern Mexico.  



This was erected at the Womens Day March to raise awareness of the high rate of feminicide in Mexico. 


Maybe the best example I've seen of a flowering maguey cactus.




The tamale vendor.  It's usually a night time thing but maybe with fewer people out and about, they're forced to work longer hours.

The gas vendors - many people still use propane for cooking and hot water heaters and so these guys still drive through the residential streets calling out their service.

 Out with my friend, Japp, enjoying tasty vegan tacos.


 I'm going to miss these beautiful jacaranda trees.

 And I'll miss all of these wonderful people who brightened my time in Mexico City.
