Hello There

 

These very tall puppet-like figures called Mojigangas (I think) wander around the town square of San Miguel De Allende on the weekends. Apparently it is an old Spanish custom. There are several different figures and they are so tall that the people inside are actually looking out from around the navels. Great fun to see.

    How fun! It must take some strength to walk around with all of that on your shoulders.

    I'm out of step with others. I think they look a bit creepy.
