We’ve just spent one crazy week in Oaxaca and a single blog post will not be enough!

This story starts 3 years ago, when we went on vacation to Cuba.

In the airport in Paris, while we wait for boarding, Leo starts playing with a little kid.

The parents, Rafa and Berenice, are a very friendly franco-mexican couple, on their way to Mexico, with two days of stop over in Havana. We sympathise and hang out with them until they leave.

We’ve kept in touch since then and always said we would visit them in Mexico; and now is the occasion.

They live in Puerto Escondido but had planned to come spend the week in the city for the Dias del Muertos festival. They came with a group of friends and we tagged along.

So after 2 months of traveling mostly on our own, we met with a super friendly crowd and Leo finally had lots of children to play with. ❤️

Rafa and Berenice are both artists and make beautiful jewellery and pottery. You should check out their work on instagram: @gotadetierra and @lunaticart.

On top of that Rafa is a talented musician and on our second day in Oaxaca we already played a gig together!

Aside from this most of the week was centered around the festival, but that’s so many photos that it’ll be for another post!
