Street Scenes: Balloon Seller Mexico City
In just about every town, city or village in Mexico now matter how small there is a square, or zocalo, flanked by a church.
And in each square there is always someone selling balloons, never a humble ensemble. A few feet away a shoe shiner or two are likely at work.

How fanciful! I think the consistent presence of balloons says a lot about the bright Mexican spirit.
balloons to me have always meant partying and celebration..lovely pic
when i was in mexico, 33% of the population made money from this and stranger more frequently annoying jobs. i remember we were in a restaurant once there must have been like 15 people passing thru in the matter of 25 minutes. one old, old man had a little homemade machine that for 2 pesos he'll electrocute you. it's cute and funny, but really it's super sad!!!!!
especially the 3 year olds selling chicle.

I could almost say this was taken in the Philippines! It's so alike!
Fly Girl, You hit the nail on the head.
Lakshmi, they are very festive.
Marina, Hmmm. getting paid to be electrocuted. Wonder how business is..
Hi Gil, thanks for stopping by.
Sandier Pastures, I would love to go to the Philippines.
I just love the village squares in Old Mexico with the vendors selling all their wares in such FiEsTa colours! Part of the magic of Mexico to me is the vibrancy of their colours! Muchas Gracias for your wonderful stories & photos! RoMy (Mexican Folk Artist)
