The Zocalo has undergone a Christmas transformation - a temporary ice rink has been installed. Goes nicely with all the squares other Xmas decorations.
 

Road Carnage

Images: 4

For nearly a year a large collection of very slow workers has conspired to drag out the building of an overpass for as long as possible. Right outside my house. Bastardos. Still....its nearly finished. I think...

I don't know the real name of this market, but I do know it is vast enough to get lost in for a very long time.

Museo de San Ildefonso

I took my Nikon 8700 along to Huichapan, and played around with the macro to catch a few tiny critters and make them big!
 

Rodeo and Aquaduct

We spent the weekend in Huichapan to help celebrate Independence Day, but we managed to venture outside the town. On Saturday we went to an aquaduct to play on a zipline and on Sunday we went to a very traditional pastime of the area - the rodeo.

A Catholic ritual in becoming a....I dunno really. But here are the photos.
 

Oaxaca Day

There was a mighty good Oaxaca fair in the Zocalo this Sunday. And after 2 years of waiting, the damned flag unfurlled enough on a blue sky day for me to get a decent photo!
