Every Wednesday is market day. There are plenty of street dogs around, either patiently waiting for leftovers or simply using the shade to take a nap.
Nice to see that the people and dogs at the market are very polite to each other.

Colour confusion in Malinalco, Mexico
Surprisingly no beetle in sight on this street. Also the green house is a bit too bright for my taste. But it certainly caught my attention. I prefer the other one. Well, or I should rather say, the formerly green house.
I went for a walk this morning when I passed the house again and first I didn´t realize that it is it, and then I thought wtf am I colour blind or is my memory failing me completely!?
They have started to paint it dark red and in order to paint over the green they have smeared some yellow over it in the front… so it looks rather wild right now. I will try to capture the process maybe tomorrow.
Same thing happened just yesterday. There is this gift shop here in my street. I took this picture last weekend.
And this was when I passed the place yesterday and I thought my eyes are playing tricks on me…. wow, I felt confused.
Streets of Malinalco, Mexico
Green house is my favourite so far.
Another beetle from Malinalco, Mexico
So turns out my favourite things to draw while in Mexico are apparently beetles and dogs. Who would have thought.
This one was a real beauty in perfect condition, despite its rather odd egg shell colour.
Beetles! Beetles everywhere in Malinalco!
More impressions from Malinalco, Mexico, where I am currently hanging out. I would call it the town of beetles. There is one in every street I pass. I don´t know why but they always make me smile.
Did you own a beetle? Do you want one? I certainly would like to have a red one if given the opportunity.
On the streets of Malinalco, Mexico II
Everything is so colourful and green here.
On the streets of Malinalco, Mexico
These guys napping in the shadow during the afternoon heat. There are plenty of street dogs around here but most of them look well fed and they are very friendly towards people and vice versa.
They didn´t even blink once when I passed and watched them.
In Malinalco, State of Mexico
Moving on from Tulum.
After a week in La Ciudad de México (CDMX) I got to Malinalco. I had no idea what this place was about before I arrived here. 115 km south west of CDMX in the State of Mexico. Elevation 1740m, population 8000, very rural and it is considered a Pueblo Mágico…
And most importantly it has way less air pollution than CDMX which I highly appreciate and approve of.
It is certainly very colourful. During my first walk around town.
