On the way to Oaxaca

Posted on by greenbee

An auspicious start to my trip—pianist playing Besame Mucho live in the airport in Atlanta!

Oaxaca is full of street art and lots of indigenous folks selling vegetables or crafts on the streets.

Just going to post photos here and won’t always include captions, but if you have questions, happy to explain if I can…

This gal said she didn’t mind me photographing this empanada with squash flowers and I thought she didn’t mind me photographing her, but she looked away, so maybe so.
Did you notice the playpen?
These gals laughed a lot saying I wanted photos of beautiful women to share back home and implying I’d find them good men!
Notice the plants growing from the awning above on left.

Fantastic print-making artist, Gabriela Morac (@moracgabriela on Instagram). She offers classes Wednesday through Saturday—contact her a couple days ahead c/o panopliagrafica.com).
Trees growing from the walls…
In the botanical garden. I took a lot more plant photos, but posting those in iNaturalist.
A poetry and prose reading that takes place every Thursday. There are also concerts every Thursday in the artist cooperative near the Textile Museum.
She read a children’s book about a cricket. Later enjoyed some grilled crickets on guacamole with friends Anita and Dave.

  1. This is just great! The murals are nice but the poor cat really stands out—good to see Dave & Anita in the thick of it “ Oyster beer?= yuk. We are very happy for you & the three of you will suck out every nuance of potential together . May the force be with you.

    Wee arte facing a “ land hurricane with lots of ice and other precip. So looks like you picked the perfect time to vacate this miserable country. Without a 4 wheel drive we will be absolutely paralyzed for days= it will descend into single digit cold after the storm so the thaw will take a loooong time.

    No word about Janet and csa’t get Eric to answer. Dr. Sehti found amaloid in my blood so now will have pet scan for plaques in brain= Alzheimers if present=yipes.

  2. wonderful pix. Your numerous pics of so many experiences makes it seem like you’ve been there a week. You are sucking the marrow from the bone, and squeezing the turnip.
