Schoolyard - Mexico

Schoolyard - Mexico

It's recess and I am on the playground. I received full access to an elementary school via my gracious guide Roberto yesterday. Roberto, in his early twenties, took me to the school he attended as a child and introduced me to his old principal who said, "vaya donde usted por favor - (go where you please)." Imagine trying to secure this access without prior authorization at an elementary school in the US? It was a great experience and I plan to make prints to personally give the principal before I leave Mexico.
