That is one thing I like about Oaxaca, people like to refer everything as an "ita" or "ito", a little something. Cups of cafe, problems, all be come little here. It always cracks me up to run into Claudio Ojeda, the carver, famous for his huge pieces, from Arrazola, whose nickname is "El Dragón Negro." Even though he is a large tough guy, for many years I have called him "El Dragoncito" and at first he wanted to kill me, but now when we see each other, he calls himself the diminutive and we laugh. But I have learned and now I call him Don Dragón. He deserves the respect.

The plants are young and small, but in a matter of weeks they will be beautiful. I already have buds on the gardenias and the jasmine plants fill the air with their scent.
