Every Sunday evening this is what Aldama Street looks like. I am taking the photo from the front of my Mexican home. Many times we have been pinned inside our own house, unable to get the van out of the garage. One week, Mike returned and could not park his van back in our garage. Our van's side door was damaged trying.
Why are all these cars here? Well, we found out! A local stopped by our house to invite us to see. Rooster fighting is a legal way to gamble. Roosters are raised to fight to their death for the purpose of people making money. Mike had taken a picture of two roosters fighting, I just could not bring myself to publish it. (Made me think of Gladiators). People are finding partners to see who'd like to bet $50. Each rooster has a colored band tied around the leg, along with a weapon, since some roosters look so much alike. I will spare you much more details but it was difficult to eat dinner that night. Our curiosity got the best of us; we don't plan on seeing what all the fuss is about again. That's what I get for being afraid to miss out on something.
