Happy New Year Alex! There is strength in crying and giving yourself grace. Love you and miss you! FaceTime coffee date soon (keeping up this friendship is an accomplishment). Oh, and Zach will always just be your brother to me, so strange how that works.
Lol Happy New Year my beautiful friend! Lol the pains and joys being a sibling. I so treasure your friendship too, and we must plan some time to hang when I come this summer! I gotta meet Isla!
The city of La Plata is an architecturally perfect city, inspired by France, it is a square with diagonals and parks every 6 blocks, it has the largest cathedral in South America, and one of the museums with the most dinosaur pieces in the world. It is beautiful to walk through its streets, diagonals and parks and smell the characteristic smell of the linden trees.
So interesting! Thanks Alex for sharing. Doesn't surprise me that it may have originated in Ecuador after spending a weekend there at the Festival La mama De Negra in Latacunga. What a wild combination of cultural and modern symbolism that was with drag queens and black virgin Mary's on horseback parading through the town. I loved hearing about the Burning of the Dolls, fascinating how these things evolve.
I look forward to hearing more about Common ground. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

Not sure I got the best description here but I do agree that our conversations and conflicting views are good for us! Love you sis !

Thanks Annette! I'd never heard of La mama de Negra, and I've never been to Ecuador! It's been on the list for a while! So cool how traditions evolve!
