These are spectacular! You must have been in all of your glory. I’m especially happy to see the diversity in the choices you made. It paints a beautiful picture!
That’s one of the most striking things about Mexico for me: the diversity everywhere you look. Different habitats and geography, a blend of people from different origins, influences of different phases of history, and all of this reflected in the art and architecture. It’s a fascinating mixture; glad I was able to reflect it.
