Oaxaca-The Year After: Yours for a special price...

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.

Yours for a special price...

It is wild to see all the stuff for sale in Etla this week. Mind you, this is a religious festival, but you would hardly know it with all the crazy rides and games set up in the streets surrounding the church and market. And sure, you can find a large assortment of religious items. More later this week.

I always love the ceramics and baskets.

How about these sweets?

Hungry yet?

I don't have any idea what half of them are, but the tamarind and coconuts goodies are mighty tasty.

They did not have this shirt in my size. I guess you are supposed to buy it for your child to insure that they will need therapy at some point in their lives.
