Great story and accompanying photographs, all of which describe a the world I want to live in - one where people honor and celebrate the beauty in the everyday.
What a lovely ode and tribute to Bob Dempsey, the Blessing of the Horses, and the Mexican people and places he embraced. He may not be with you in body, but he certainly still is and will continue to be in spirit. The second photograph of the lineup of horses and riders is profound in its own way, but all the photographs are worthy of many discussions. Thank you for the post, Esteban!
Thanks, Daryl. It's hard to find the words to describe the immensity and immersion of the Blessing of the Horses. It's like being transported to a different culture and simpler time where you're completely enveloped by all of it. And you are transformed and long to experience the feeling again. You'd be giddy.
Thanks, Marsha. Yes, those people from the countryside were open, joyful and welcoming. We have every intention of doing it again. Neal would be in his element, and you would love it, too. Fond regards to both of you. Steve

Thanks, Jeff. Both times were highlights of our lives. It was filled with amazing, unadorned and welcoming joy. You'd love it.

You found the words, it made me love these people,their customs, the horses and just being a part of the experience.
