Barriers

The spiral in el Paseo de Santa Lucia and el Cerro de la Silla as seen from a walkway leading to Parque Fundidora.

Keeping watch

An angel in Panteón Dolores with Cerro de las Mitras (translating it to Mitras Hill just doesn’t sound right) in the background.

The taxi ride

Captured from a rooftop above Padre Mier avenue in downtown Monterrey.

Villa de Santiago, Take 2

Second shot of the church in Villa de Santiago. Different angle, different moment.

Decision time

Two choices. Both have their strengths. Which to choose?

Decido el jueves.

Frida Kahlo

Lighting of candles at a tribute/shrine to Frida Kahlo. Both her birth and death are commemorated in the upcoming month of July.

Between life and death

Found in the Museo del Ojo in Garcia, Nuevo Leon. A key part of understanding the cultural history of Mexico is to understand how families relate to loved ones who have passed. Google “day of the dead” (el día de los muertos) to get started. It also plays a key role in artesania.

Chaos

It’s like a “where’s Wally/Waldo/Walter” for Eden. Can you find each character? Good job! (close up of a sculpture in the Museo del Ojo in Garcia, Nuevo, Leon - about 30 minutes from Monterrey)

And the buses just keep on coming

Downtown Monterrey. Yes, the city is filled with buses. Just stay out of their way…
