Corners, corners everywhere

La Argolla (the ring) 62-43

El Faro (the lighthouse) 62-41

La Rosca (Now this is a tricky one. It certainly looks like a bee, but the only reference to a "rosca" I have actually heard of is the "rosca des reyes." It's the Mexican version of the king cake or galette des rois. In Mexico, it's bread though, and the person who gets the baby in their slice is responsible for hosting a party, complete with tortas, tamales, and whatnot, a month after the Epiphany. So my theory here, bear with me, is that since this bee is reminiscent of the Bourbon bee symbol, and since the Bourbons were kings, the "rosca" here somehow means king. Or bee. Oe cake. Or some combination of all three. I'm grasping at straws here!) 66/41

La Cucaracha (the cockroach) (get up and dance) 74A/41

La Nachi Cocom (the last independent Maya king of the Sotuta region) 74/41

La Flecha (the arrow) 80/41

La Copa de Oro (the golden cup) 82/47

La Gotera (the gutter) 77/45
