Western Mexico, A Traveler's Treasury Quotes

“On Sunday evenings, the plaza is transformed into a scene of intense social activity as the townspeople gather to participate in the weekly paseo, in which young ladies, elegantly attired, walk clockwise around the central bandstand, whilst young men walk in the opposite direction. When a young man sees a young lady who interests him, he will give her a flower as she passes. Next time around, she may choose to sit out with her admirer on one of the many wrought-iron seats in the plaza”
