Getting ready - Guelaguetza time in 5,4,3 ....

There is so much happening in the next two weeks, one has to sit down and carefully plot and plan how best to do it right.  Almost every aspect of what makes Oaxaca just so special will be celebrated.  From food, to dance, to crafts, to mezcal, and it all starts tomorrow!

If it is anything like last year, we are in a for a night fine time.  I thought last year's festivities were the best organized and best presented in years.
So I am psyched.  Here are some photos that the city has put up in the plaza where the desfile or parade begins just up Alcala.

Always fun to see old shots and see that the traditions have continued pretty much unchanged.

Here is the auditorio up on the hill, El Fortin, as it used to look.

Of course, now it has a roof... or half of one.  We'll see how it all works out.
