Print delivery party in Zaachila, Oaxaca
LEAVING EL PASO
On the way out of El Paso,
I saw Christin Apodaca's new mural
All the cars lined up on the border at 6 am,
coming into the United States
Graffiti on the Ciudad Juarez side,
visible from the bridge over the Rio Grande river
ARRIVING IN OAXACA
I flew from Ciudad Juarez, and arrived in Oaxaca at night, and was greeted by the beautiful Santo Domingo church in the center of Oaxaca City in the morning.
