Mexico tales: The Zoo

It was nice, even we get a little sad for the animals at the same time. I found it amazing that Itzcóatl (now 5), remembered his last visit from 2 years ago.

Also there was many Mazahua people, I love to hear them speaking their own language.

We used to go to the zoo when something was wrong, as a way to clean up and start again as family, he and me.

I only had my cell phone, so I leave you with pictures from a previous visit.

Mexico tales: Some gifts

My course in Xalapa, Veracruz, was possible only because of the work of promotion of Yarim and her kind hospitality, so some little gifts were in order. I made her a pouch, a bag for her mother and a martian puppet designed by my son for her kid.

New Year in the northern highlands of Puebla

 

We went to my step father's town for New Years eve. It a very small town, food was great, we had hand made fresh tortillas every day, among other things.

 

They grow coffee over there.

The New Years Eve was very nice with many family members and Huapango life music and dance all night up to 8 am.

Itzcóatl enjoy playing with the kids and looking at the chicks.

 

I liked to go to the farmer's market on Sunday.

You

Are these all the tears I have for you?

I wonder...

I'm not even sure why I am crying about,

for it being over

or the existence of it.

I'm all emotional these days,

and I have learn to see that as defect of my personality,

but I still can see that it also bring some clarity to things.

Even when us was always about confusion,

about extremes and nothing at the same time,

like mold in a pair of shoes in the closet.

And you are so far,

and I'm so over it,

and I'm so not over it,

and this is not new at all,

you have always been out of reach.

I open my hand in the middle of the cold air,

the room is very still,

and what makes me cry

is not knowing,

if a feel anymore.

Like in a labyrinth,

like my body floating in the middle of a mercury pond,

and the midst, making it impossible to say

if is about to be dark

or the morning.

and I just stay, almost draining,

almost alive,

almost.

Mexico tales: The dogs

It was a very animal friendly trip, because there was pets every home we stayed and it was lovely to see my boy play and get along with all the pets, specially because we don't have the opportunity of having one.

 

Mexico tales: The sewing and knitting course

While we were in Mexico, we visit Xalapa, Veracruz, were I gave this course.

It was really nice and my lovely students were so happy and creative, I loved it.

There was all kind of projects.

Many of them bring their sewing machines, and this was the most strange I have ever seen, I was not able to find out how to fill the bobbin, which is not meant to be done on the top of the machine, but on the bottom.

This knitting machine was interesting to see too, even when I prefer hand knitting.
