It was back to Plaza Independencia this morning to do cart work among a different crowd today, people off work because of their holiday. At first, gray skies and intermittent drizzle made prospects seem unpromising but soon the clouds departed, the sun came out, and the Plaza crowd assembled.
Below is a photo of Tom helping a family understand what the literature is about.
The sign on the cart says "Free - Take One.." It's a wise approach because it moves people to investigate what each book is about in order to choose one that interests them most. Often this leads to productive conversations.
A second crowd in the park are the pigeons which, every once in a while fly in squadrons around the plaza, apparently just for the exercise. Alas, certain ones among them enjoyed exercising their bombing skills and Tom's black jacket seen in the above photo got badly splattered a few times before we noticed it. One of them scored a mess onto my jacket sleeve. Dan escaped unsoiled. Look closely at the photo below to see some of these unChristian birds in flight over the Plaza.
One young man accompanied by two women stopped to take our photo. We acquiesced but I asked to take their photo too (see below for the one I took).
We discovered they were Witnesses from Mexico City on a trip. Sometimes a stranger will come by and insist on shaking our hand without ever looking at the literature. Then he just keeps moving on. I have no idea what that's all about.
In the video below you will see depicted a scene which, in real life, is best witnessed from under an umbrella.
Thirty books were placed in the Plaza today, a local one-day record.
