Oaxaca, Mexico 2010: Teotitlán del Valle

Teotitlán del Valle is famous for its traditional Oaxacan rugs. However, while we were in Oaxaca they also had a parade in Teotitlán called La Preciosa Sangre (the precious blood). All of the unmarried girls and women in the village carry decorated baskets through the streets in honor of Jesus. However, for the village men it is also just a chance to check out the single girls.

These are pretty splendid :) I'm glad you got some good shots of the actual trip while I took pictures of food. Hahaha.

Lea, your food shots are valuable, too. After all, we spent LOTS of time eating :D I'm looking forward to seeing them and reliving all those gorgeous, tasty meals.
