Constant comfort.....

I'm sensing a pattern here.  I know that elsewhere, it is very hot, but this is very typical for Oaxacan weather.  Comfortable temperatures and late afternoon rains, which can be intense.  Often after the rains, it clears and we're back into the comfort zone for a sleeping.

You can leave your hat on....

Just seeing these wonderfully colorful chapeaus, kinda makes me wish I was a hat guy.  Alas, I'm not stylin' enuf or able to pull these off like Bruno Mars could. Still, very tempting...... but no, I don't need to have folks sayin, "Is that Bruno's abuelito?"  I get the hairy eyeball enough, know what I mean?

All just adds to the visual beauty and complexities of Oaxaca.

Seeing red....

It seemed inevitable and, as of yesterday, Oaxaca is back in rojo due to increases in covid cases.  What this means in terms of restrictions and cancellations remains to be seen, but it sure looks like schools, which are due to open in just over a week, will remain closed, like many other things.  Maybe strict mask protocols will be enforced, especially for all the tourists, who are the worst offenders.  No matter what, it looks like this street art is prescient in predicting this fall's harvest. 

Back to red, but really, Back to Black, which is just so sad.
