Cuales son los tacos favoritos de wally?

Tarde pero años, SIGLOS, en subir una nueva respuesta y lamentó genuinamente haberme tomado tanto tiempo, la realidad es que he estado muerta con los parciales y la universidad, el tiempo no me da y es muy- AAA. En fin, trataré de seguir haciendo las respuestas para no dejar este AU en el olvido… perdooon. :’D

El Tiradito wishing shrine in Tucson's Barrio Viejo.

In local folklore, the wishing shrine memorializes a young man who died violently but was unjustly denied consecrated burial for his mortal sins. One legend claims he was murdered after being caught in adultery with the wife of an enraged, jealous rancher. People come to the shrine seeking the intercession of El Tiradito – the outcast – especially in matters of love. Flowers and offerings are left here. Petitions and prayers written on scraps of paper are left on the ground or stuffed into gaps in the adobe wall. A votive candle that burns through the night without going out is said to guarantee a speedy answer to a supplicant's prayer.

While the Tucson shrine is the only wishing shrine found in the United States, scholars think that the idea that tiraditos grant wishes originated in Sonoran Catholicism. When the structure was threatened by interstate highway construction in the 1970s the community successfully sought its protection, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Photographs of ‘El Segundo Barrio’ of El Paso in 1972 by Danny Lyon.

Documerica was a program sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to “photographically document subjects of environmental concern” in the United States from about 1972 to 1977. These particular photos shot in Kodachrome by Danny Lyon are all of El Paso and in particular the Second Ward which was described as a classic ‘Barrio’ on the Mexican border.

Juan Francisco Elso: Por América Exhibition at El Museo del Barrio

Juan Francisco Elso: Por América investigates the brief yet significant career of the late Cuban artist Juan Francisco Elso (1956-1988). Based in Havana, Elso was part of the first generation of artists born and educated in post-revolutionary Cuba, who gained international recognition in the early 1980’s. Created mostly using natural, organic materials, his sculptural practice examines the complex forms of contemporary Cuban, Caribbean, and Latin American identities, as inflected by the cultural influences of Indigenous traditions, Afro-Caribbean religious beliefs, as well as the traumas of colonial oppression. 

Juan Francisco Elso: Por América was exhibited at El Museo del Barrio in New York City from October 27, 2022 – March 26, 2023

Se me olvidaba comentar una cosa curiosa.

Hace un par de semanas estuve en el Parque Warner de Madrid (no publi) con una camiseta de Welele puesta. Pues unos tipos me dijeron algo así como "¡eh Welele, guapardo!", no sé si esos chavales seguirán visitando la web o simplemente la conocían o les sonaba.

La cosa es que en TODO el mundo como mucho habrá 10 camisetas así y yo tengo 2 en casa. Las otras 8 no sé si siguen exisistiendo. Tampoco es que me la ponga mucho pero si veis a alguien con la camiseta probablemente sea yo xD
