I remember you as a little girl on a trip in Mazatlan, walking through the open markets, eyeing the hanging meat. You wondered what it was (chicken supposedly) but maybe it was cat. Now, here you are many years later looking at what you are told is a sheep, but still wondering if it's true. Just flashed through my mind.<br /><br />Still- love the photos and love that the people are open and receptive and open to you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748782537332599315noreply@blogger.com
