After a dinner of "chiles en nogada" at the "El Cardenal" restaurant in the Hilton Hotel, as we passed through the lobby, we noticed that they had set of a series of boards with holes for the face. We couldn't resist taking photos.
Here Alejandro is a Mexican guitarist in a broad sombrero.
The rest of the cut-outs were derived from the traditional Mexican game of "lotería". The game is similar to bingo, but the players' boards have sixteen pictures of objects and people instead of numbers. The caller shuffles a deck of 54 picture cards, and then draws out cards and calls out the name of the picture. The first player to fill in a pattern on the board wins.
"El Valiente" - The Brave Man
"El Diablito" - The Little Devil
"La Sirena" - The Mermaid
