Not Tequila or Water

But Mescal. Pretty good stuff. I´ll have to bring some home,  if I can.  Just a quickie, internet is going to time out really soon so brief update.

 

Went to Oaxaca to see the dancers.

Went to Monte Alban to see the ruins

Went to a crumbling Dominican Convento that is really a monastary.

Went to a cool place where they carve wooden animals.

Went to a cool place where they invented and perfected black pottery.

Went to a buffet where everyone gorged themselves and I had fruit and a few veggies with bottled water.

 

Until next time! Adios!

Tombs are not fun

Sorry  I  can´t  share the lovely photos of the tombs I crawled on my hands and knees to see today... maybe when I get back.

 

And  I ate the worm!!

 

 

Wow How Depressing

My last post was terribly depressing... I am so sorry! I have made it to Mexico and my gracious hostess has let me have a few minutes on the computer so of course I had to blog! I have been working diligently on my spanish, it sucks tho, and I have visited a bunch of churches already.  I has been great. I go to Oaxaca tomorrow, where I was supposed to see a festival that is being postponed due to violence in the area! WOO HOO.... oh well, as long as they do not cancel the crafts people I will be good.

Entry for July 12, 2006

Went for a walk around the lake this evening. Didn't get far before I heard splashing noises. Walked a bit further along and stopped at a break in the brush to see what was splashing. Two teenaged boys came running towards me to see what had happened with the splashing. There was a duck that was drowning, his head obviously caught on something. It was really sad.





I'm going to Mexico. Currently, there is political unrest concerning the elections. I hope I come home in one piece. Make sure you guys take care of yourselves.

Oh you pretty Chitty Bang Bang

Chitty chitty bang bang we love you

High, low, anywhere we go, on chitty chitty we depend

Bang bang, chitty chitty bang bang, our fine four-fendered friend

Bang bang, chitty chitty bang bang, our fine four-fendered friend

Now that I've stuck that song in your head...... hey, at least it wasn't It's a Small World after all...





I know that the topic for the day, if you are participating in the Yahoo Blog of the day, is your first childhood memory, but I couldn't pass up this photo. Aside from that, I couldn't figure out how to link my response to their blog, so I decided to post this photo 'cause I'm sure it could qualify as SOMEONE'S first childhood memory!

Kramer Goes Hunting

I was looking through a magazine I get that featured an article about a website that is now posting "lost" photos. Pictures that have either been found in the trash, on the street or purchased at antique stores. It's been so much fun! I can't resist some of them and this was one of them. All I could think of was that this was a photo of Seinfeld's Kramer and he's either going hunting, or he's had enough of George and was taking matters into his own hands!
