Oaxaca-The Year After: Markets in the time of covid....

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.

Markets in the time of covid....

I am lucky to have the nearby market in Etla to shop for food. It is eerily quiet these days.

I am used to the place bustling with people, shoppers, vendors, tour groups, but now....

There is hand sanitizer at the two entrances. I always go mid mornings and visit my normal vendors. I am in and out quickly. I also avoid Wednesdays and Sundays when it is busier, but it is easy to see why I go.
