A BLOGGING ANNOUNCEMENT




WELCOME TO MEXICO AND BEYOND:  LAURA'S PHOTO JOURNEY

After blogging for almost five years I have decided to start a series of blog posts focusing on the indigenous peoples and their cultures of Latin America including the countries of Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina where we either lived or had extended stays during our "nomadic years."

My husband suggested this new theme and since he is the one who inspired me and has supported me on this blogging adventure I trust his advice. I was ready for a change and a challenge and I am very excited.

Since my great love has always been cultural anthropology and sociology this will also be a great way to get back to my passion.  And in the process I will hopefully learn a lot more about the indigenous peoples and their cultures which I wish I had known during our years living in and exploring Latin America.

I am very excited about this new blogging focus and I hope you will enjoy it also. Any suggestions or comments are always appreciated and I look to seeing you in near future.  In the meantime, here are a few of my favorite photographs of the indigenous peoples of Latin America.

THE FACE OF LATIN AMERICA

In order to view my album, please remember to open the above link and click on the first photograph, and then click on the "burger" on the upper right right hand corner for a slide show.  Believe when I say I am working with the Google "photo gods" to try to make this easier in the future! 



Until next time, wishing you wonderful travels and adventures wherever the road may take you.  Saludos, Laura

  2. This is a great focus for your blog! I'm also fascinated by indigenous cultures of Mexico, Central and South America, so look forward to reading your posts and seeing your fabulous photos. If you don't already know about MAM (Mayas and Ancient Mayan), this group teaching Mayas how to read and write hieroglyphs would good for a blogpost. http://discovermam.org
