They're Back

It's getting closer to Easter and Semana Santa so the Yaquis are back in San Carlos. When we first came to San Carlos ten or eleven years ago, we thought they were pretty unique and interesting....now they are  commonplace and we usually try to avoid them.

Yesterday we were caught while having a beer by the Marina...the donation is usually small, but it is constant.

I don't know if I have previously explained the Yaquis, but they are indigenous to parts of Arizona and Sonora and many now live on reservation- type farms. For the period of lent, the Yaquis perform ceremonial dances, asking for donations for their tribe. Asking is not the proper word as they do not speak during this period.
