The Chihuahua reappears
This summer there was a brief flurry of chihuahuas in my path -- hadn't seen one since, until Sunday at the Neighborhood Restaurant, which is known for it's photogenic linens and dishes. I had my new camera with me to memorialize the occasion.
In an effort to puff out this entry I googled the sacred meaning of chihuahaus, and came upon the ancient Mayan ritual of Chihua-hente, or "cleansing by chihuahua". A most unpleasant procedure. You will have to read about it for yourself. Suffice it to say that Chihua-hente is not for the faint of heart , and that if you knew anything about it, you would certainly not choose chihuahuas for your china pattern .
Photo note: an example of a close up from my new camera, in focus for reasons unbeknownst to me.
