Another Day in Oaxaca October 25, 2016
When we travel we never really have a set plan.
We just wander and find interesting places and museums.
Yesterday we first explored the Stamp Museum.
Now, some of you might say "Why?"
Well- we've been to this Museum before and found
the individual special exhibitions so interesting.
Here are a few photos from our visit:
Entry courtyard where they have
complimentary coffee.
The museum is comprised of many small
buildings connected by lovely little gardens.
A sculpted hand chair covered with stamps!
One room had an exhibit of one artists
children's book illustrations. They were such
amazing works of art that I had to find a bookstore
so I could find one of his books to buy!
His name is Mauricio Gomez Morin
Cathedral near our B and B
Not exactly Pacific Northwest cervesa-
but refreshing.
The visiting pigeon really wanted our peanuts...
we did not share.
This mornings breakfast fruit plate!
All our breakfasts have been delicious!

Our Amazing Day in Oaxaca October 24, 2016
Being in Oaxaca opens doors to
amazing visual treats.....
especially during the Day of the Dead .....
celebrations begin long before the actual day.
Peaceful courtyards...
Lead to altars such as this.
Meanwhile in the Zocolo Russell talks with
a few of the many protestors that filled the
entire Zocolo.
By evening the protestors had left and
the streets were filled with crowds of people.
We were not sure what was being celebrating
as Day of the Dead is not til next weekend.
But everyone was having fun dancing with
the monsters and others in costumes...
or just with interesting faces...
An American playing his guitar and singing the Blues...
Santa Domingo de Guzman church near our B and B
Endless fireworks through the night...
This mornings breakfast!
Have a lovely day!

It's Awww Monday! October 24, 2016
Russell and I are in Oaxaca City for a few
days before we head to the beach...
It's almost Mexico's Day of the Dead
so he posed with some rather
large Catrina's!
This little girl was waiting for her mother
to finish selling embroidered items
table to table . She was enjoying a snack of
fried grasshoppers - we've tried them...
a kind of a crispy spicy and salty snack.
A sweet cat that was too suspicious
of me to allow me too get close.
