I took this picture in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, a city famous for its beautiful streets and colonial buildings and its very, very conservative citizens. For those of you, non-Spanish speakers but loyal followers of my blog, a lose translation:
We will not grant communion to women wearing dresses with straps, or whose backs show, or wearing shorts or cleavages, or those who show their breasts or legs… and to men wearing shorts.
Needless to say, I was not allowed anywhere near there, thus the nature of the sloppy image.
Oh, and in case you were wondering: Tlaquepaque is the sister city of Springfield, Missouri (I kid you not!)
Ha! Why does this not surpise me…..
Tough God! I’m glad that mine is nicer.
I just wish they’d posted an English-language translation for the gringos, too. These are often entertaining. My favourite is at Puebla’s Cathedral, whose entrance sign, “Este es un lugar de culto…,” advises Anglos: “This is a place of cult…”
