Mexico 2009
Here are some photos from my current trip to Mexico. Photos are from Mexico City, Cuernavaca, Xalapa and Veracruz. I'll post my pictures from Merida, and the archaeological sites around the Yucatan, once I take them! Disfruten!

1. I have been waiting, and here they are. Wonderful, they
ignite my Wanderlust, I have never been to Mexico. Great photos, total favorites are 2 and four. Two makes me want to go there so badly, and four makes me very happy.
The fountain is beautiful as well, the kindness in the face perfectly captured. Thank you.
I bet you're fluent in Spanish by now, eh?

2. Pretty much fluent...
although just like in the US, there are a variety of accents in Mexico. Some are easier to understand than others...

3. Look here why I took to your chairs. Here are mine.
These two screen prints (by Clayton Pond) are in my kitchen.

5. El Pirámide del Sol de Teotihuacan
Wow, that one just stands out! Excellent wide angle and the perspective really lets the viewer see how massive that is!
