Santa Prisca! One of a thousand photos taken of this beautiful church by my friend, Dieter Leduc

I was captivated by the city of Taxco 15 years ago and have boxes and boxes of photos that chronicle each of my visits. These pictures are a feeble but honest attempt to portray the beauty found at every turn.  It truly is a Magical Town.

I sit on a 250 year old balcony every morning and drink my coffee while watching the city come to life
