You know what you tell people to say in Mexico if you want them to smile for the camera? WHISKEY.
That’s one of the discoveries I made last week driving around for three days with the intrepid Yesenia Diaz Delgado, communications coordinator for Pro Mujer Mexico. Working as a volunteer, I took pictures of women who get loans and health care through the nonprofit. Here are some of the dynamic women working hard near Mexico City.
Vegetation looks awesome there! I love those plants along the wall at Paola’s place to say nothing of her beautiful collection of molcajetes.
You look great! Stay Healthy and Happy Trails!
Looks like your many gifts got a free plane ticket to Mexico. You are as good there at warming people up and honoring them and getting them to open up as you are in Losaida, da Bronx, the NYC public schools and even Rikers Island! —Ellie
We know that Christmas is approaching in the UK when the poinsettias, in pinks, red and creams are flooding the garden centres, but none as glamorous as in your photo.
Beautiful photos! Love how Miss Piggy is looking right at the camera. That’s some saddle-shaped snout she has.

Thanks Ellie. Whiskey! No free tickets, just the chance to get to know these women and take pictures of them all around Mexico.

Great photographs and stories. A true adventure. I would have loved to scratch the pig behind the ear.
