El mercado

Last week was happily spent in the archives of the Secretaría de Salubridad y Asistencia in Mexico City.  I didn't take many photos this trip - sometimes I feel like I actually see more if I don't have my camera with me - but had a lovely time.

As some of you are aware, I am fascinated with the work of a tattoo artist/muralist/graffiti artist here named Dr. Lakra. He recently completed a mural in the DF, and during one of my post-archive afternoons, I made my way over to see it. Here is one corner of the square room it encompasses:


Back in San Miguel, I was delighted to find a local market with freshly ground cumin. It's been very challenging cooking without spices, and I'm so excited that all my meals are about to taste significantly better! 

I also came across a group of women selling fresh flowers and had to buy one of the beautiful bouquets.
