SAYULITA, NAYARIT |
Holy
Week was a good week to be out of town. Puerto Vallarta was filled with vacationers
from the U.S. and Mexico, who camped out in small tents on beaches and left
enormous amounts of garbage and trash. I spent these
ten days visiting my family in San Francisco and Marin County.
On Good Friday, we decided to drive to Sonoma
for lunch at Corner Stone, which is home to a large, fanciful sculpture
garden. Driving up 101, we passed a
large emerald green field filled with sheep and their young lambs. It was a beautiful pastoral sight, and we
told the small children we would stop to take photographs on the way home. As we slowly approached the same grassy field
later that day, the scene was different.
The sheep and their lambs were now tightly corralled in a circular pen
and on the periphery, a man in levis was wrestling one of the white lambs to
the ground.
My eight-year old grandson bawled out, “Leave! Leave! They´re going to make lamb chops!” And although their mother told him the man was just going to shear the sheep for their wool, James had seen something he understood.

My eight-year old grandson bawled out, “Leave! Leave! They´re going to make lamb chops!” And although their mother told him the man was just going to shear the sheep for their wool, James had seen something he understood.
Seeing
the name, I was curious about what this woman had done to have a neighborhood
named after her. This is what I found in
Wikipedia:
“Guadalupe
Victoria
(29 September 1786 – 21 March 1843), born José Miguel Ramón Adaucto Fernández y
Félix was a Mexican politician and military officer who
fought for independence against the Spanish Empire
in the Mexican War of Independence. He was a
deputy in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies for Durango and a
member of the Supreme Executive Power. He also served as
the first president of Mexico."
