Photos from Oaxaca

Hi all, I've been a busy girl, trying to finish my book. I just spent two weeks with students in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here are some photos. Enjoy!

1. Cool!

I love when other photographers travel. Makes me feel like I've had a vacation.

3. This was a new part of Mexico for me.

I took hundreds of pictures, but Hierve el Agua was something else. Actually, the library with 600 year old books was something else (I'm a historian). But photographing books behind glass and iron bars is not very exciting. And I couldn't capture the smell of the place on my camera

2. These are truly wonderful, my dear a la izquierda!

What a great variety of photos you have here.

You must have had a great time taking these and seeing all the sights!

Thanks for sharing.

4. Oaxaca is truly an amazing place.

I hated to leave it for the chaos that is Mexico City, but research calls.
