The Veil Grows Thinner

We visited candle makers and weavers in Teotitlan Del Valle today. It seems like everyone who lives there is an artist.

World renowned master weaver Issac Vasquez

The sky was its own work of art.

I watched the clouds shift and the light change. Within a few seconds of one another, two hearts appeared in the clouds.





Later we stopped at a nearby cemetery to observe the preparations for Day of the Dead. People were cleaning off the graves and beginning to decorate, but they welcomed us. A few of us struck up a conversation with a couple. He had lived in Santa Barbara, California but returned to his town after a few years. 


Back at the Casa, we tested out our altar.
