Un Tonalli, El Sol, the Sun, once malinalli for those using ritual calendar.


Painting, Nahuatl text, Spanish text by Tomas Jimenez from Guerrero who
has many happy memories of life in the countryside.

Spanish: Un nino llevan al campo los borregos. Este es su trabajo todos las dias, hay senoritas que van a la orilla de rio a cortar flores lo que ellas plantaron para llevar a casa y otros ninos pescando con el anzuelo.
