Oaxaca-The Year After: Say cheese

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.

Say cheese - Eataly Boston

Eataly in Boston just opened (Check out these pics and story) and it was so crowded that all I got were these amazing shots of cheese.

These wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano were so big and beautiful. Each one weighed about 39 kilos (86 lbs). If I could have lifted a couple of them I would have brought them home. I tried, but my head swam and I started see blue... cheese.

Oh, what a sight. I love those blues, but $25 to $46 a pound was a bit pricey. Luckily, the lines were so long, the place so crowded, that all we could do was beat a hasty retreat. Maybe after the opening few weeks it will calm down. Next time, for sure.
