5 photo round up of what I saw/did this week.
Hope you all enjoy them.
A shot of Templo de Santo Domingo in Oaxaca, Mexico. I had a perfect picture of it with not a single person in it, but as I was going through the pictures I found this one. I love it so much more. I was able to capture a couple posing for wedding pictures on the day of their wedding. The bride & groom look beautiful & even more so in front of the beautiful Templo. I also love that we can see other spectators looking at them.
As you walk around Oaxaca, Mexico you will notice tons of stands like this. They are all selling crickets, bugs & more insects. I ate one & did take video of it. I will be posting it very soon!
In just about every market their is a meat section. While walking in the meat section in a market in Oaxaca, Mexico I could not pass up a shot of this. I love it, I can't believe this lil piggy taste so good. I also love that he is looking at me.. Hey Mr. Piggy ;)~
This is a shot of a random statue in Veracruz, Mexico. I tried looking to see if a sign around would say what it is but didn't find one. I am not sure what it is... It looks like a kinky threesome to me one women & two men (thats hot). What do you think it is???
We planned to spend a day walking around all of Veracruz but the heat did not permit that. It was 99° but feels like 112° outside. We were out for about 2hrs and decided to walk back home. On our way home I saw these houses and loved them. They are so gritty yet beautiful.

I really enjoyed the crickets, especially the ones that are garlic and chili flavoured.

I enjoyed it as well, I thought it would be worse. I had the chili flavored one & it tasted good!
Wow you’ve been on the road 12 weeks already?
Very interesting pictures. Loved the tempelo. I thought the bugs were peppers and I will never get used to seeing animal heads hanging around. I would eat the pig though 🙂
I have wanted to visit Oaxaca and now I know I won’t be disappointed.

I really like the last shot with the houses! And I agree with your theory on the statues — what else is it supposed to be?!

These old houses look great, not so sure about the pig head. Not really a place for vegetarians to walk around 🙂

I didnt know you were a vegetarian? I guess next time I will post a pic of vegetables.
That’s one happy pig, all things considered. 12 weeks already, time really flies by.
