The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

Return to Los Reyes

You will recall the Feria de Queso, the Cheese Fair, in nearby Reyes.  Well, the setting was so beautiful, that I wanted to return there when it was not full of people.  After going to the Etla market yesterday, drove the couple of kms and was not disappointed.

The church sits on a point that overlooks huge lush valleys.

This is the view as one comes out the door of the church.

This circle is the dance area for the guelaguetza.  Not too cosmic a vibe, man!  They had a canopy over it for the dancers, but it would be great to see them dancing against this backdrop.  I am sure it was that way in the past.

Not a soul in sight except for this happy creature.
