Dear Shannon,
Thank you again for these wonderful pictures and pensative comments. I love your blog in every aspect, your notice of small details and cultural awarenes. I share your enthusiasm of Oaxaca, having family in law with Oaxacan roots. Sometimes I share your blog on my FB, can I also share the pictures?
Warm regards, Saskia

Great visuals and “captions”! Thanks Shannon. I hope all’s well with you.
It was fun perusing and picking the quotations. All is well, but missing being able to visit my family in CA and NY. Hoping you are a-okay.
