A man watches the General Avila Camacho Escaramuza team compete in a women's rodeo in Chalco on the outskirts of Mexico City, May 10, 2008. Escaramuzas are similar to US rodeos, where female competitors called "Amazonas" wear long skirts, and ride side saddle. Male rodeo competitors are "Charros," from which comes the word "Charreria." Charreria is Mexico's national sport. Photo/Chico Sanchez
