Wherever we go, there is color all around. Sometimes the colors are muted, but still, they are painting our world beautiful.
In Mexico, color is a feast for the eyes, a celebration…absorbed through all the senses.
From the jungle parfait…
..to the pink cotton candy clouds.
We could hear colors in the music.
We saw it in the art…
…and in their traditional dress.
We tasted it in the wine…
…and felt it in the colorful characters we were fortunate enough to meet.
…including some we will never forget.
I’ve never seen water so intensely blue.
Or skin so intensely red…
…flora so purple…
…leaves so green…
Colors were hiding everywhere, just below the surface…
…ready to burst out and surprise us.
And everywhere we turned, there were rainbows.
We love Seattle, our silver city by the sea, but long after we had flown back north….
…Long after our footprints had been washed away in the sand…
…to tide us over on those cold and gray Seattle days, we carried a bit of the Mexican rainbow home in our hearts.
