How can anyone resist this sunbeam?

My dear friend Melanie sends me such colorful descriptions of her and Lee’s experiences in Mexico… along with wonderful photos. This little boy, smiling and dressed as a golden sunbeam would brighten anyone’s day. Melanie describes what will be coming for the Easter celebrations.

“Saturday begins the busiest time of the year here - "Santa Semana", the 10 days of the Easter celebration. No gringo tourists. The larger cities empty out and hit the beach towns. We just sit back and watch. As with all religious holidays here, Catholicism is mixed with native traditions, with the newest addition of the "The virgin of Guadalupe" which has replaced the "Virgin Mary" in the churches and also on the walls of homes. In the Saint Patrick's Day parade all the costumes were - surprise - RED! Many were decorated with embroidered images of the virgin of Guadalupe.”
