Sunset Sunday – A Sunset in Mazatlán with Smiley

Two of us boarded the bus for the afternoon tour with our driver. Yet  just before we exited the hotel gate, the other passenger changed his mind and exited the vehicle for an afternoon poolside. He left me on a personal tour with a jolly man nicknamed “Smiley.” I decided to switch from conversing in […]

The Alebrijes of San Martin Tilcajete, Oaxaca
