Desierto puebla de Agosto 28

Driving to Coahuila yesterday we drive through a small roadside town in the desert named for the patron saint day of Saint Augustine~August 28th. Some spots on the highway in Northern Mexico are little more than wide spots in the road. This small town had a few vendors serving the needs of travelers & many homes are painted in vivid colors keeping the dust from making the bleak landscape totally brown.






















Like a mirage in the desert the Giant 6 Pack beckons drivers onward...well, that & the 25 speed bumps leading into town~

hey, there are plenty of frat boys who would see your "mirage" in the desert of a six pack of beer and would stop cold!
