Oaxaca-The Year After: Roads

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.

Roads

I mentioned that 80 percent of the roads were damaged by the rains. This is the kind of damage that is fairly widespread. No quick fix for this bridge just down the road from me. It is on the main road to San Agustin, so an important route. These shots are from the San Sebastian side looking north towards San Agustin. My house is just a way around the curve.

Christopher Stowens said...: We have to go around the back way. So you would take the next right on the main drag, as if you were going to the policia, then cut by the feed store, take a left at the lavanderia and that would put you on the road to San Agustin. Lots of traffic for some funky roads.; October 18, 2010 at 1:46 PM
