A Honeymoon in Oaxaca

August 2nd, 2011. Mexico

Selling Crickets

A little while ago, I went with a handsome boy to Mexico. We strolled through the markets and plazas, we ate tamales, ice cream and molé, and we tried to speak Spanish. You see, this wasn’t just any trip. It was a special trip following a special day. It was our honeymoon.

Sorry for all of the photos of Nik and our wedding rings. I guess those were two elements of our trip that I liked the most.

Great post. I don’t remember seeing many of these photos before. Wish we could be there now.

Beautiful photos. What sort of camera do you use? Is it the Canon?

Jamie:

Noah, I used a Nikon D40 for these, but I used to use a Canon G9. And my husband uses a Canon SLR and loves it. Thanks for looking!
