We went to Oaxaca!
Hecho en Oaxaca Street Art exhibit at the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca (MACO)
Papel picado. Our view from where we sat to have our daily ice cream from La Michoacana.
The work of Swoon in the Hecho en Oaxaca exhibit.
Bowl of atole and lunch at a little street stand. The ladies cooked the food on a wood burning stove while a telenovela played on their little television.
This is Roberts the Sock Monkey at poolside. He was the privileged stuffed animal that got to accompany us on the trip.
Guelaguetzal procession before an afternoon rain.
Giant puppet!
The house across the street from where we stayed. This dog was quiet all day, but come nightfall it was non-stop barking.
Chocolate stand at the Benito Juarez mercado. Of course, this is where we got some of our chocolate. (Gloria is my mom's and sister's name).
Breakfast at the inn: fresh fruit and orange juice, coffee, Mexican pastries, yogurt and eggs any way you want them.
Monte Alban
E at Monte Alban
Guelaguetzal procession. Guelaguetzal is a celebration of the indigenous cultures of Oaxaca that takes place in July. Every afternoon we would come across a procession of dancers and musicians in their traditional costumes.
Attack of the giant Cantinflas!
Oaxacan food sampler. The little dish in the center contains dried chapulines (grasshoppers).
Cartas!
Collection of Frida Kahlo letters at the Museo de Filatelia de Oaxaca. There's one with her lipstick print!
More Guelaguetzal procession!
Just as they finished erecting, this strong winds and rain rolled in. This is a frame for fireworks, by the way. Bummer.
Last meal in Oaxaca. Mole negro. So good we ordered more after we at this!
