Almost a Gringa Local.

On my way to the market, I passed an indiscernible gate, where two sets of pre-war uniforms hung on these very bare walls. This may just be my favourite picture. Ever.

I felt uber cool driving Desiree’s jeep through the market streets, with my elbow out the window. Life is good.

After a beautiful day surfing, Oswaldo settles in on the balcony with his guitar, while Desiree makes coffee for us.

If I could choose one type of food to have for the rest of my natural life, it would surely be seafood. Just look at these gorgeous camarones!

And my other weakness … papaya.

Cemeteries in Mexico feel as if life is celebrated as opposed to mourned. The sign on this grave says something like “It’s not sad here, I’m happy.”
