Tales from an "Almost Ex-Pat" in Mexico

Things in the States were tense and I suppose I had what you could say was a radical change in my life that seemed inevitably necessary.  The people were warm and living in the NOW was the way as opposed to here where you live in perpetual anxiety and are bombarded with drug ads and "The Kardashians".  So, there are too many stories to even remotely start on with my "missing years in Mexico City" but instead will drop a couple photos.  Days like this I miss waking up to the sounds of the city with the vendors on bikes yelling out which tortilla they had or sweet corn chowders or even a hot cocoa drink when the sun went down.....

The Serpent is a sacred symbol, that and the Jaguar.....in an eternal battle for Supremacy it would seem
