A lot of things have happened since I last posted, but I don't have time to go into any of them now. Here have pictures of Mexico City under the cut:

Wow!!! Looks gorgeous!!! ♥

Thanks! Half are mine, half are my friends. It's so hard to reproduce in a picture the actual mood of it all.

Oh, it's lovely to see those pictures - I visited Mexico years ago. Aren't the voladores amazing, the guys who spin out from the pole by their ankles? It is originally sort of a religious/meditative thing connected to the vanilla plant, I think.

[lamerezouille]

Yes, the voladores are quite impressive, above all how they still play their instruments while flying down. My friend who lives here told me about the origin of this ritual. So fascinating.

Oh, when I saw it they didn't play as they went down - unless there was one person who stayed at the top playing - it was a long time ago. I saw it in Papantla, in Alta Verapaz, at some ruins.
