I'm in Sayulita, Mexico I heard these ladies speaking a totally unrecognizable language on the street so I asked them what language they were speaking and they replied "Huichol" aka Wixárika - native indigenous language of NW Mexico. 💚 #mexico #huichol

I vivdly remember seieng "Sleeper" in 1973 for the first time. It was a double feature with "Bananas" and I was only 9 years old. Never laughed so hard till that day and have had a crush on Diane Keaton ever since. #dianekeaton #woodyallen #sleeper www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFxH...
