Los perros

I don't remember if I have mentioned "the dogs" before. Every morning we drive into La Mojonera for work. Just about every morning there is a group of dogs hanging out on this one street corner. We believe them to be a gang. A viscious yet cuddly looking gang. They never bark at us, they never follow us, they just hang out at their street corner. Across the street from their street corner is a construction zone and a building is being remodeled I think. There are steps leading up to the building. For the past week, the gang of dogs has been sitting on those stairs staring straight into the sunrise. It is seriously one of the most precious things I have ever seen. I am hoping to get a picture of it next week. What a great way to start the day though right? Just sitting calmly, patiently, watching the sun rise up and warm everything it touches! Sort of reminds me of the angels in "City of Angels" when they head to the beach every morning because they can hear other angels sing when the sun rises. Maybe dogs can hear something we cannot.
