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.

What a life

Sorry to hit you with all of these food pics, but here's the daily bounty.  I didn't grow it, but I am sure gonna eat it.  How good is the produce here?  Just look at these I just picked up in the market in Etla.  We saw old pickup trucks filled with bananas and plantains all along the road on the way there.  It must be the season.  So here you go: bananas, cantaloupe, pineapple, peaches, tomatoes, avocados and an onion.  Not too nice, huh?

Is there any way to know if the vendors use herbicides or pesticides of any kind?

There probably is a way, but I don't know it. There is always lots of stuff at the markets which is very obviously homegrown. However, the only way to really know is to grow it yourself, hence my lettuce and other veggies.
