So this was fun. A group of people were wondering around singing to music blasting from the back of a bike and kissing all the moms in town. So cute. Good heavens. It is almost 2 AM NightView My Video

I think this custom in Mexico is called "Maņanitas" where folks walk/drive around town serenading the mothers in the wee hours of the morning.

I would like 4 pink stargazer lilies, por favor! Mexicans really know how to have fun: shopping for flowers at night! I guess I better stay till Mother's Day next year!
