Last night Leslie and I went with several friends to a "charreada" (similar to rodeo). It was really neat. The grounds are beautiful, and the place is adorned with typical Mexican decorations. Most of the events are much like events you would see at a typical rodeo in the U.S., but some are completely different.
Some of the guys wore traditional Mexican sombreros, and others wore Texan cowboy hats. There was a charreada band, and they seemed to enjoy themselves like we used to in the rodeo band, but the music was very traditionally Mexican of the cowboy lifestyle. It seems like every song had the same beat and melody, just different lyrics.
I wish I had taken my camera!
