Sometimes it seems as though the saturation of colors is more intense in México. The houses, buildings, and graphic design are all bold with rich colors. I am still not sure why it has a picture of Spiderman while the text says Flash Gordon, but maybe that was the only graphic they could find.Close-up of posters on a wall

I passed this while driving along the road and almost crashed the car when I saw this. I'm not sure when this building ever had "fast internet", but it clearly wasn't doing it recently.

They will stop for virtually anyone and anything... including people carrying their animals/dinner with them. After talking with the gentleman in the photo for a few minutes, we learned that he was a professional musician on his way to a gig. He immediately pulled out his guitar and started jamming solo. This prompted the entire bus (including some Italian tourists) to start singing, clapping, and laughing. Even the bus driver was singing along! It was good fun and I swore never to take a first-class (gringo) bus the next time I was in Mexico.

Obviously, this dog was not used to a loud PA system, music, and people yelling and cheering outside it's perfect little world...which the sign clearly skews. Unless there is also a 230lb K-9 in that house, there is certainly no reason to "Beware of [the] Dog".

Called a 'callejero' or street dog, this public square was probably it's home. There were at least 10 other such dogs in the plaza. They don't bother anyone and the keep the streets clean, so I suppose the government doesn't bother that much.

This lone wolf was busy chasing this one pigeon -- who never had the simple idea to just fly away to another park -- for at least 20 minutes.

The phrase on the box translates as: "There isn't anybody too poor that they don't have anything to give, and there isn't anybody too rich that they have nothing to receive."

You still can see, however, the reflection of the grass on the shiny surface.
