Mexico: We're back

We're back after four planes, five buses, 10 days, more than 8,000 miles.

It was one great trip, taking us from Portland to Atlanta to Mexico City to Puebla to Veracruz to Oaxaca to Puebla to Mexico City to Atlanta and back to Portland again.

We'll post more words and pictures about it all in the days ahead, but for now here is a picture from each Mexican city that captures a beautiful moment from our vacation.


OAXACA
An icon of the Virgin Mary passes in front of Santo Domingo Cathedral during the Procession of Silence on the Friday before Easter.



PUEBLA
The main cathedral, on the zocalo, all dressed up on the Saturday night of Holy Week, or La Semana Santa, which also was the day before the city's 475th anniversary.



VERACRUZ
A midnight view from the terraza of our hotel overlooking the zocalo, which rippled with action and music every night until 4 a.m., or so we were told.
