Daily Life
... about our Oaxaca highlights. Now, I’d like to write about the more mundane, or rich, depending on your perspective, parts of our daily life here.
What better place to start than with taking out the trash. Three times a week, usually around 8 a.m., a garbage truck drives down our street. A man standing on the back of the truck manually rings a bell to announce its arrival. Sometimes the man is wearing earmuffs so as ...

Oaxaca
... br> Our visits to the Zocalo and surrounding squares were always accompanied by entertainment. One day there was a concert band in the pergola, another time the marimbas were being played, then there were the mariachi’s, the pan pipe players and of course the payasos (clowns.)
