Comida at el Quinque....
The beautiful museo de San Augustin Etla. The waterfall, as seen from the patio above...
My friend, Carol, at the Books and Broads monthly bookclub...
An embroidery at the San Augustin Etla museum, aka Casa. Two exhibits are up right now: Oaxaca as the epicenter of native corn production, and the fight to keep GMO corn out of the system.
wool felt corn!
wood-block print, the drawings made by local school children, the printing by college students. Beautiful work!
I'm partial to the textile portions of the exhibit, and this embroidery was beautiful.
downstairs at Casa, the costume designs of Beatiz Russek. Costumes, story boards, sketches, more. Her life's work!
the courtyard at a friend's house. This was a pile of rubble when he moved in 2 years ago!
ok, out of focus! The nacimiento at the San Pablo. Beautiful!
The Alvaro Torres Quartet, playing jazz in the patio of the Belber Jimenez. A magical evening!
Job and the Cheap Seats, playing rock and roll at Casa Colonial Sunday afternoon. Rock on!
donde esta mi chef, Jean Michel. Yes, another cooking class this week. Salad nicoise (Oaxacan style), ratatouille with fish (Oaxacan style), and chocolate mousse with (surprise!) Oaxacan chocolate!
Cooking class, after the meal. That's Jean Michel behind me!
Our beautiful zocalo is now mostly cleared of demonstrators, and the Radish Festival is on schedule. We walked through today, looking at the preparations and displays of radish carvings, dried flower scenes and corn shuck creations. It really is one of the 100 things you must see!
A terrific week. And, another one on the calendar.
