I enjoy watching Mexico celebrate Valentine's Day. I blogged on this fact last year, but seeing it is only my second Valentine's Day ever to be celebrated in Tijuana, I decided to write another Valentine's Day post.
A few things I appreciate about the celebration down here:
1. It is not just a romantic day. Everyone is invited to celebrate because it is the day of love and friendship. ( Amor y Amistad)
2. The streets become very colorful with lots of pink and red. As you drive down the street on Valentine's Day you find bouquets of balloons tied to cars, lots of flowers, cellophane wrapped gifts ready to be given to a loved one or friend.
3. The gifts are bigger and more creative than most things I have ever seen in the states. I took a picture of what I am hopping to receive next year :-)
Here are a few photos for you:
Setting up for Valentine's Day .
So, if I was to pick a gift, I would vote for this tree of roses :)
