Mexico Mornings ☀️ In frame:

Braulia making a stack of tortillas to sell.

Braulia herself surrounded by magic mushrooms, a mural painted in psychedelic colours. For medicine, she says.

Water butts line the wall, each with a bowl to scoop out water. To wash dishes and tired faces.

Notice the sheets of red plastic so the tortilla dough doesn't stick to the press? Braulia habitually loops the top one into a small handle between each pressing.

You'll come back one day, she's saying.
