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.

A must see in Santa Ana Zegache

The best laid plans and all that... we were way too early for the food feria in Santa Ana Zegache, but the church and its courtyard never looked better. 
The detailed painting of every part of the facade is simply wonderful.
And because it is near some of Oaxaca's most famous woodcarving and alebrijes villages, the painting always reminds me of the wonderful painting styles of those artesanos.
So, no food for the body, but a feast for the eyes.  It's an easy drive.  The road in is paved... with a few potholes and topes.  Well worth the visit.

A few years ago the Museo Textil had a guest instructor from Santa Ana Zegache to teach an embroidery technique and design that is unique to that pueblo. It was fun.

so glad to see that the church has reopened. We went there last October and it was closed due to structural damage from the earthquake. It is an absolutely beautiful church that should be on every tourists "to do" list
