Oaxaca-The Year After: Cambio

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.

Cambio - Change

Here is a shot from a week or two ago of the nieves (ices) stand in front of the new interior shopping area on Macedonia Alcala directly across from Amate Books. I took it because I loved the flavors. "I would like a crema de mezcal, por favor."

Here is the same shot yesterday. Cinnabon has arrived. Change.

Time for a visit, don't you think?; February 3, 2010 at 6:01 PM
