Delivering Prints to Oaxaca

I (Karl Whitaker) flew down personally to deliver the prints to Oaxaca on April 3rd, 2019.

 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.
