In Oaxaca

 Dear all:


just a few pictures, I asked some boys to share some for the blog recently--thank you Zaidien.


We have been pushing hard, we visited the ruins of a palace (summer palace?) at 6200 feet yesterday as well as some artisanal potterers, weavers and wood carvers--sadly no one bought the $110,000 bull--it was amazing.  We will have classes in the morning and give them a well deserved afternoon off--they pushed through a rigorous travel schedule on the weekend without a break.

thank you for the picture Zaidien.
