I was told by Yoly some time ago that Cruz Roja only keeps "spare clothes" on hand for someone who comes in for treatment and has torn, damaged or whatever and maybe had clothes that had to be cut away for treatment, etc.

“Dale, Dale Dale!”
Can be translated as "hit it, hit it, go on". And it is the beginning of a ditty that we sing when we go to break a piñata.
Piñatas became a Mexican tradition over time. So much so that now we see piñatas in the shape of artistic characters, politicians, famous athletes, creative figures, and of course, traditional ones, either for birthdays, a Mexican party or to celebrate the posadas and Christmas.
We will have with us Patricia, a woman from Ajijic who makes beautiful creations with her hands.
We will use clay jars and paper to create with our hands our piñata and have it ready for the posadas.
Come and learn the process and join the behind-the-scenes process of making a piñata.
Includes material.
