Watercolor Paper Delights

Four of us residing at the B&B El diablo de la sandia hop a collectivo for a drive into the hills, A special glimpse of  the small village tourists don’t see, a tour of a watercolor paper factory ( a craft of many skills-hand labor!) There is so much to see, not a lot of time to post photos with the text always, but please see the link to my photos.

The Touch of Beauty

Daily the soft air in the morning later gets replaced by sights and sounds of  busy vendors with their varied wares. Long balloons shoot up in the church yards, and museums display the gentleness and also dark sides of Mexico’s culture. At dusk colored lights under the palm trees show embracing couples and restaurant patrons reading menus.  Maybe the  marimba players are still in the zocalo. It is the beginning of my love for Oaxaca.
