Touring Mexico, One Funny Jesus at a Time

A few years back I went traveling through Mexico, touring old colonial cities, eating amazing food, and visiting quirky museums (naturally). And no matter where I went, from rural villages to giant cities, from the desert to the tropics, two themes kept popping up: creepy babies and funny Jesuses. Do you know what Zacatecans like to see in their museums? Creepy babies and funny Jesuses. Do you know what Oaxacans fill their churches with? Creepy babies and funny Jesuses. Do you know what tourists will flock to Mexico City by the millions to view? Creepy babies and funny Jesuses.

So if you're avoiding a trip to Mexico because you don't want to get caught up in a war fueled by Americans' insatiable appetite for drugs and guns, just sit back and relax because I bring you The Best of Mexico: Creepy Babies and Funny Jesuses Edition.
