Quick catch up
OAXACA: Wow! 10 or 11 days and I haven't added any news, which is building up as the days and travels continue. In a nutshell, caught a night bus to Oaxaca and spent a week there catching up with friends, sightseeing and market trips. In brief:
Stayed at a lovely hostel called Casa Angel
Chats in espanol with various vendors in the market
My fave Oaxaqueno band 'Trio Fantasia' were playing in the market one arvo while I was eating one of my fave foods - chilli rellenos.
Bosstich and Fussible - DJ-s from Nortec Collective do electro and traditional norteno music fusions and mixed tracks for a silent bw film from 1927 called Puno de Hierro. Later played at a club and I went down with a lovely Mixteca man and danced until they finished.
Went out with a few people from the hostel and got called up by a clown in the Zocalo, who was doing balloon figures and lots of jokes, and was surprised when I was speaking espanol.
Went to Monte Alban and took more photos
Ate tamales and tlayudas
Bought some handicrafts.
