I am so sorry for the long silence here on Pardon Me For Asking, but I spent the past ten days in Mexico for some sun, family time and to attend a wedding of dear friends.
Mexico City was a revelation and the four days spent there were too short to really explore everything on my list. There are just too many amazing museums, so many vibrant neighborhoods to check out, so much street life and energy.
And what can I say about Oaxaca? The three adjectives that would describe it best are colorful, joyful, and inspiring. I have seldom loved a place so instantly as Oaxaca.
Everywhere we went in Oaxaca and Mexico City, we were welcomed with such friendliness. People were incredibly helpful when they steered us to great eateries and points of interests.
They genuinely wanted us to have a great time in their country, their town.
Of course, the markets and the street food were my favorite things to check out and to photograph.
The light, the hues, the street life...all was so inspiring.
Gracias, Mexico, for making me feel so welcome!

4 words: I want your life. I just love seeing life through your eyes. Thank you for sharing all the glorious photos. I have to honestly say that I have never had ANY interest in going to Mexico at all, and now I'm going to place it on my bucket list!!
That is so sweet. Yes, put Mexico on your list, especially Oaxaca. What a beautiful place...and the prices are really low, so once the flight is paid for, it really is not a very expensive vacation.
Greetings Katia,
What gorgeous photos! I told you I always wanted to see Mexico City, etc and now, it’s a must! Colorful as I imaginedI thanks for the wonderful glimpse!
