This was at a HUGE festival in Oaxaca called the Guelaguetza that happens only once a year. I was going to stay overnight in Mexico City after Guadalajara but I made the spontaneous decision to take an overnight bus to Oaxaca from Mexico City instead. I arrived tired and bleary eyed in Oaxaca at 6am. Found a hostel, layed down my bags, made some friends with a couple of Canadians, and came to this, a 10,000 person arena with dancing, free sombreros and fans and stuff, and lots of heat.

These pictures are beautiful. My senior project includes raising money to donate wheelchairs to the poor...we just picked our location and delivery date: Oaxaca, during this exact festival next year. :)
