A long while since my last post! It's been a whirlwind summer of music, family, friends, and traveling all across the USA. While it really was a great time, I am excited to be back in Mexico, preparing for our next leg of the bicycle tour. There is much I would like to share from the last three months, and I am sure I will (so many blog posts brewing in my head!), but for this post I am going to jump right back into what is relevant to me right now. Mexico!
As some of you know, I just joined Instagram (BrewisTravels) and have been posting approximately a photo a day. While I haven't quite wrapped my head around the total usefulness of Instagram yet, I do like how it encourages me to be more timely in what I share, and to share only what I think is beautiful or interesting to those I am sharing with. Last weekend I captured some lovely photos during a day trip around the countryside of Guanajuato, and having fresh in my mind the United States' slightly (or greatly) skewed vision of what Mexico is like, I decided to share some of those photos, specifically those of the charming little pueblos in the area, each beautifully photogenic in their surroundings.
But to be honest, well this is not. Sure, it is showing much of what Americans don't imagine when they think of Mexico. But it is not truthful to present it as all sunshine and picturesque churches in lush valleys. I will probably always tend to lean towards the beautiful, as it is my nature, but in this post I want to show a little more.
