Trip to La Paz, Mexico

Flamenco in Mexico

Mexico´s Brown Virgin

Fiesta Jerez

Jerez, Zacatecas has the most awesome Saturday before Easter Fiesta you can imagine. It´s ranch country and hundreds of charros (Mexican cowboys with the wide sombreros) take to the streets and if you don´t know before what is Banda music, well you will. The traditional burning of Judas effigies surprises our cameraperson as they are explosions, kind of scary. Its the wild kickoff to the springtime fair of this great state.
