Mexico Travel: Self-flagellation during Good Friday procession in Taxco

I took this video clip during my language study trip to Mexico in 2006. I spent 3 days in Mexico City -- what a fascinating experience. The remaining 2 weeks were spent in Cuernavaca where I studied Spanish at two different language schools. I also did side trips to interesting places like Taxco and Tepoztlan.

I am actually a travel writer and have written more than 700 articles from a variety of different locations. My articles are published at http://www.travelandtransitions.com. Check out my Mexico articles which can be found at http://www.travelandtransitions.com/stories_photos/mexico_2006.htm.




Recently I have also been compiling my content into FREE travel ebooks about destinations such as Havana, Mexico City, Sicily, New York City, Chicago, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and many others. The books also have useful travel info and practical travel booking tools. Feel free to check them out at http://www.travelandtransitions.com/ebooks.html

@LBJTV Fasting, for certain, since it doesn't run the same risk of permanent tissue damage and infection.

@JNathanK2011 of course theres going to be a context in everything, does't mean it isn't delusional. Al this freeing of the spirit crap is psychological, not physical.

[JNathanK2011]

@LBJTV The practice can liberate the spirit from ego. That's the context you have to understand this in.

[winskovable]

they are SHIA

[LBJTV]

cannot get more delusional than that
