South of the Border II: Fruitvale Station






Cuidado Fruitvale




End of the line





 A make-believe not-sinister
shopping village around 
the infamous BART station




 A sunny and actually
not inhospitable vibe today




 The artist forgot
the tear drop



 Out through the gate
to International Boulvevarde



 The delightfully authentic
Mexican section
of Oakland




 Botanica
para Curanderos


 Healings
 from heaven and earth



Big shoes
 for little ladies 




 Mexicans and Mexican-Americans alike
celebrate the stereotypes,
How healthy and wholistic




 Guacamole wedding cake









 A tiny wayside park,
wouldn't want to hang out there
after dark



Fruitvale district
seen as the tree of life
in ceramic and tile







We return to this terminus 
in the following blogs,
hasta luego
