Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost

Reports are that General Houston’s Texian Army has once again routed Santa Anna’s Mexicans at San Jacinto. The series currently stands at 19-0.

Colleague of mine told me last night that the local community college was putting on an International Festival today, so we trundled down for the fun. Fun it was. For some reason, as always, I wound up with pictures of mariachis and folklorico dancers. (I’ve been known to find performing mariachis in the most unexpected places, and I just about always get pictures of them.)

So. From the International Festival:

This is Justino Barrera of Mariachi Internacional de Houston providing vocals and Javiera Paz of HCC providing motion.

Alejandro Say, whose family hails from Guatemala, provided a bit of traditional color as well.

There were people there from pretty much everywhere there are people, and I’d have loved to have had more time to spend with them, talking and photographing, but they had classes, the colleague had deadlines, and I needed coffee. So…

It’s now a thoroughly beautiful day. I’m going back out; there are still more pictures… somewhere.
