Encounter with Tlaquepaque Police 24 September

So, Tlaquepaque is a smaller neighborhood outside of Guadalajara. Erika was taking Lama on the evening stroll, after dinner, and the town was setting up for yet another round of Independence Day fireworks and festival activities. This is when we were stopped by the police.
A group of officers, (with their semi-automatic weapons) sitting on a bench on the pretty cobblestone walkway, getting ready for the night shift, all eyes shifted to our rottweiler pit bull, and the usual round of "Que buen perro! guapa!" was heard. One reached for his camera.

Erika turned around and said, "Quieres un foto?" and the officer blushed and said, "Si!" Lama posed very handsomely like a real guard dog, very serious looking, and he took the picture. He was very happy (Erika could not help but laugh aloud, this is really very silly.) We should have asked for a few pesos for that one! And on we went happily to the festival.

The main futbol team here is Guadalajara, Las Chivas. Oswaldo Sanchez, who is on the cover of many sports magazines this month, is the great goal keeper and we're going to try to see a game.

In the square tonight there will be about 20 different styles of mariachi, to be enjoyed with Micheladas (a lemondade-beer-infusion with salt, salsa de Maggi, and worcestershire sauce. Very good!
