Back in March I posted some photos of a folkloric dance performance on the plaza in the town of Banamichi on the Rio Sonora. We finally got around to editing some video footage that Athena took while we were there.

It’s a luxury I haven’t always had in the past few years so I’m enjoying it fully. Athena just returned from a couple of weeks with her mother and family in New Mexico.
