As in most towns and villages of New Mexico, Truchas has its Fiesta. Loosely taken from the fiestas of Spain and Mexico, it is a big celebration—a party for the entire village.
My camera was giving me trouble so I didn’t get many of the shots I wanted, but these will give you an idea of some of the festivities.
After the parade, there was live music, dancing, and barbecue, but my dogs were calling me home. As I walked the boys out onto the land grant and the llano, I heard the celebration across the mountain, dancing in the night air, the music gathering with the stars.
Love to you all,
Jeane
Wonderful community! what blessings the energy of community.
Yes, it’s wonderful to be a part of something so rich in diversity–so old. Community and family are very important here, still. Neighbors still help neighbors. Simply lovely.
