Theme Day-Where Am I?


Now, if not in St. Paul, where am I??!! NO! I'm not in Mexico. I AM in St. Paul where many Mexican and Central American families have lived for generations in a neighborhood that retains much of the Hispanic-speaking cultures. Great place to eat and buy groceries; that is, if you like Mexican food!!

  1. Hurray, I'm the first in St Paul. And I must say I was pretty sure you were taking us down to southern Califormia. You tricked me!

    Many thanks for your visits to my blog over the past few days. Sorry I wasn't able to reciprocate, I have been away in Noumea for almost a week and just catching up today.

    In the process forgot to enrol for the theme day but am participating anyway. Cheers!

    Well I would have guessed, Mexico, anyway. It looks like Mexico or possibly New Mexico, or maybe even Arizona, and could be Texas. Remember Brownsville. Nice photo idea Kate.

    My Theme Day is of a city unto itself, with its own zip code, and a portrait of the "Peashooter" at the National Museum of the United States Air Force. Hope you like flying.

  10. Hi Kate! Your exchange looks even more Mexican than mine, but then we don't have a large Hispanic population, although the owners of our El Ranchero Restaurant are Hispanic. That's why the food is so good!
    Nice, colorful photo!

  22. I think that the statue with the sombrero (sp?) started life as a Charlie Brown character. It looks just like Linus with a multi-colored blanket. Mmmm. Mexican food.

    I love the Madonna photo.

  23. I missed seeing this until late on 5/1... and knew instantly. Good job fooling everyone!

  24. A very familiar images from Mexico, great collage!

  25. Looks so "real", that it makes me miss those smoke-dried chipotle chilis and a really good guacamole. Thank goodness no tequila in the house to drown my sorrow with a "Muddy" (even though the Austrian company Riedel created the official Margarita glass, I'm no Margarita girl, I prefer the pinaple to the lime).
