I went for a photography stroll the Misión yesterday and it was business as usual for many establishments; hair salons, restaurants, bakeries, etc. were operating.
Then again, if your peeps arrived 100 years before the pilgrims, or even millennia before them, maybe they don’t feel a pressing urge to commemorate the event?
