Aunt Kathy's Bag Goes to Mexico

I have recently graduated from Portland State this last December and at 25, have finally decided to have an adventure in another country. I have simplified my possessions to what is important and what fits in my car. On this trip I will visit my sister for a short period and will then head off to an ashram outside of Mexico City. I will be farming each day to pay for my room and board. My only companion is my aunt Kathy's turquoise bag. This is our adventure.

Here's the door deal













Recently, Santiago was given money from the government to repaint their houses. While some of the home owners declined to repaint, many of them chose to do so.
I can't get enough of them, but I promise to stop, soon.













All of the 40,000 residents in Santiago live on streets just like this. It is easy to get lost and forget which colorful door is the one that I am staying at.












This house didn't get the paint memo, thankfully.













3 Doors down.

    Lindsey, This very much reminds me of the Bo-Kaap neighborhood in Cape Town with all of the beautiful colors - great photos! I would love to hang some on my wall!
