In a few hours I’ll be on a flight bound for Mexico City and for the next 10 days will explore and photograph cities, towns and villages north of the big DF (Distrito Federal).The first destination will be San Miguel de Allende, a charming town about a four hour bus ride from Mexico City. Next it's northwest to Guanajuato, a UNESCO World heritage site, followed by San Luis Potosi and the more rural and off the beaten path Matehuala and Real de Catorce.
This trip will coincide with the Day of The Dead, which will be spent in Real de Catorce, a former mining and old ghost town undergoing a renaissance.
There will be plenty to write about and photograph. In the meantime I have posts lined up for while I’m on the road.

Hey! First time here, very nice blog! This time of the year is one of the best ones in Mexico, the celebration of the Day of the Dead is the most traditional and important one in the year, and the whole country become a cemetery, but a different one than the ones you have met before. Death is a friendly concept among Mexican people and for sure you will take nice pictures showing skulls as candies and skeletons as toys... good luck and enjoy my beautiful country!
