Mountain View Jesus

When I came home from work there was a Good Friday parade on Rengstorff Ave. in Mountain View. This is strange. For those of you that have not been here, Rengstorff is a residential street bridging the freeway and the valley’s surface street artery, El Camino Real. It is the most unlikely, spectator-less place in the area. The police blocked off a lane of traffic and about 200 mostly-Latinos somberly marched Jesus to his crucifixion.
