Season's Greetings

Christmas morning and we headed downtown to see the action.  Instead, we saw lots of closed shops. The only action seemed to be the wood sellers

the hat and basket vendor

and a paper flower seller

Even the cantinas were closed.

 

San Miguel has a lively cantina tradition and I plan to eventually get photos of them all from the outside.  Women are, by tradition, not allowed inside.

 

The fact that the shops were closed gave me the opportunity to get a closer look at their doors and fastenings.
I love the centipede hinges, the lizard hasp and the handmade padlock on this door.

 

Happy Holidays to you all with best wishes for a joyful 2010.
