    • This is what I wrote back to dingorin for his/her helpful comment: "Dear friend, Thank you for making clear that distinction between a "calesa" and a "caretella". I have always used those terms interchangeably, so I'm glad you've pointed that out to me. Yes, I will edit my photo descriptions accordingly. Once again, thank you so much. God bless and have a great day ahead! ~~~Mary Ann"

    • The horse drawn rig in the picture is not a calesa, this is called a caretella. Calesa is also called caromata. Caretella is like a freight transportation. When my mother goes to market in Divisoria we load our purchase in the caretella.

    • I like this shot. It makes you look left to right because of the door arches and then it nails your attention to the statue on top of the horse drawn cart (calesa), the couple walking towards the main door and finally the calesa. Nice!
