Magical Centro in the evening.

 Friday morning Sheldon and Debbie picked us up and we went to La Martina for breakfast. It is as beautiful as always out there. And again the weather was perfect. Beautiful place, good friends, good food and wonderful weather. Who could ask for more. 

Didn't take many pictures as I've taken so many over the years. I did like this pretty cabinet though. 

The African Tulip tree was in full bloom, such pretty flowers. 

After a short rest at home we decided to head for Centro again. Saw this worker heading home after a long day. 

A Carnival decoration in mid town. They eyes blink. 

Plazuela Machado on a Friday night. Lots of people and families walking around. Vendors and music every where. 

Not much commentary this time, just enjoy the sights. Most of these buildings were built in the mid 1800's. There is a restaurant upstairs and two down stairs who put tables in the street weekend evenings. 

Some of the pulmonias are really eye catching. This one is yellow and green with lights all over it. I[ve seen one with a superman theme and another with a mickey mouse theme. But didn't manage to get a picture of them. Will keep trying. 

A better picture of the mural I took the other day. This time I went boldly in - as if I belonged. A right away a gentleman sitting just inside the door spoke to me. He asked me if I knew who the lady in the mural was. Of course I didn't. So he gave me a lesson about it. It is Angela Peralta - a famous singer in the late 1800's. The theater at the Plaza is named for her. She was called The Mexican Nightingale. Thus the two birds in the mural. I'm glad I went back to retake the picture. She died in Mazatlan in 1883 at 38 from yellow fever. She was to appear in the city. For more information about her click here

Back on the streets again. So pretty with the lights strung over the street and the light in the sidewalk illuminating the buildings.

Just caught my eye. A child sized bench with lights and a little snail on it. It is bright red. 

More lights. A car coming up the street. 

Lights in a tree too. 

Outside tables at another restaurant. There were two men playing music there too.  

Another street - more lights. 

Gaia restaurant all lit up. The blue on the right is the Carnival statue.

Around another corner and more lights. A couple of small shops on the left side. 

Even old walls are beautiful with the right lighting.

Our favorite building all lit up. So pretty. It was open so we went in. More amazing sights left for another blog. 

Look at the details that are glowing. 

Just another part of the exterior of the building, need to look up to see it. 

I think this was the superman pulmonia, just couldn't get a side shot of it. 

Another style of old architecture. 

Our walk around the area around the Plazuela Machado at night. Such a neat area and we didn't go by a lot of it. For another day or evening. Hope every one saw the magic I saw.
