With still one more day to go and hundreds of photos to go through, not to mention video, this has been a very nice Muertos. Yesterday, we did the swing through Mitla, Tlacolula and Teotitlan del Valle and wow, it could not have been better. We went to Mitla to see the tapetes de arena, the sand paintings, but there was only one and not really much to write home about.
However, there was an exhibition of pan de muerto, breads locally baked, and they were spectacular.
These are made to be placed on altars or ofrendas.
Each one a work of art.
Some of the most ornate I've seen.
This one is made for an altar and it even gives you a plan for laying out the altar.
They just kept going...
and going...
Never seen anything like these before.
So Mitla was inspirational in new and different ways.
I have been following your blog for years. This is the first year in 5 that I have not come to Oaxaca and i think of it daily. I so appreciate your frequent posts that keep me informed and also delight me with the wonderful photos of the people and places i have come to love. Thanks so much
