B & W's

I have some black & white photos that coincide with ones I am posting here. Because I already have a blog specifically for black and white photos called Grey Oasis, I have decided to post all B & W's from the trip there. I am going to try and post the B & W's that were taken with these photos, the same day as I post the one's here. If anyone is interested in looking at those as well, there is a link to the right to that blog, or you can click on the blog title above in this entry.

Title Photo

Just in case anyone was wondering, yes, I took the photo at the top of my blog. It is of part of the city of Zacatecas.

Welcome

I have created a "Mexico" blog to help me with sharing my trip with friends, family, and complete strangers. My 2 year old son and I recently returned from a two month stay in Zacatecas, Zac., Mexico. I took over 1100 video and photos and intend to share most here on this blog. Because I have many pictures to sort, I will be adding entries, descriptions, photos, video, and whatever else I can slowly day by day. Enjoy remembering our trip with us and thanks for visiting!

Street Theater Continued...

Finally, I had to get the boy out of the house so I decided to strap him on my back in the Ergo and off we went. We found some good street theater and did some window shopping for souvenirs.

Down Time

This was the week where we were alone. All of the friends we had made at school had all left. It was very difficult for me because I was having such a hard time there....as well as missing home, and trying to get Andre to adjust better to Mexico. Due to the down time, we hardly ventured out. Because of this, Andre felt quite a lot of cabin fever and found himself stuck in certain situations. ;)

Talking to Nino

Andre loved to talk to Nino on the phone. Today was an extra special day for him because he got to talk to Nino for something like 12 minutes!! The random donkey is as random as you can get. Can you imagine how random it would be to bring a donkey that looked like this into the middle on Chicago or LA?

10/12/07 - Exploring some night life

The city began their street theater festival that week and Andre and I ventured out to see what the opening act might be. We only got to see their dress rehearsal because I wasn't feeling up to par to go to the real show, nor did I want to deal with the crowds.

I took this photo of the beautiful sky and clouds while I was on a break at school.

Andre, chillin' out, waiting for the day to begin.

The opening act was some sort of gymnastics/trapieze type of show with an African flavor. It would have been fun to see it in full dress.

Just one of the many odd places Andre's fallen asleep.
