Yesterday was another birthday and, in truth, I was not expecting much. I am cranking on recent photos of more of Oaxaca's artists and spent much of the day working in Photoshop and listening to music. After about 8-10 hours at it, totally dazed, there was a knock on the door and I was whisked off to dinner at Comedor Colon in Etla with Henry and Rosa. The food, as always, was delicious and at the end of the meal, the entire family who runs the restaurant came out and sang Las Mañanitas and gave me a little cake with a "?" for the candle.
Of course, it was one of those candles that relights itself.
I have to say, it turned out to be such a sweet and joyous moment, the very definition of happiness. That and all the amazing thoughts, well wishes and love from all my FB friends, many of who are former students, made it a really special day.

Happy Birthday to you Christopher!!!!Antonin Gallant(Montreal)
Your restaurant friends seem so cool and generous. What is the address? I would love to eat there!
Congrats for your birthday and on having such good and generous restaurant friends.
The restaurant is Comedor Colon and it is just south of the market. Hey, if you make it to the market, just ask. I don't know the street or the address, but Etla is not that big so I imagine anyone you asked could point you in the right direction.
