This past week was a crazy one for me. Three weddings, a “trash the dress”, and a family photo shoot left little time for living, but I was able to go to the Día de Revolución festivities last Saturday. In addition it is the 200th anniversary of the revolution which makes it even more special than normal. I mean kids dressed up as revolutionaries? You can’t beat that. I still don’t have time for a full post, but I wanted to share one of my favorites before I start in on the mountain of images I have to edit.

I just got back from an amazing wedding in Zihuatanejo and I also had the chance to take a couple days off and go inland to Michoacán for Día de los Muertos. It was inspiring. Michoacán is by far one of the most beautiful states in Mexico for sure. Before I post those photos though, I have to go back a bit to San Pancho Days. Every town in Mexico has a town festival that usually revolves around the saint of the local church and/or town. For us it is San Francisco and there are nine days of fiestas. Here are some of the images from the final day.

The day starts with tacos de carnitas and chelas (beers) in the park and a parade through town to the church. They continue through the afternoon finishing with los toros (bull riding) in the evening and then ending with a banda en la plaza.
