I was in Oaxaca in 1960. Wow. Such memories...traveling in Mexico by myself at age 19. Love all your photos, the colors, the kids...Wow.
Beautiful!! But stop the press! Go back to the photo "Symbolic Foods"....I'll take 12! Delicious!
i too have vivid memories of oaxaca, how can one not? you've more than captured the essence, and day of the dead!! oh!! i grinned when i read 'crickets anyone', recalling the chants of 'chicklets' for sale. your photos should be published///shown. in a book? thank you for the excitement shared.
What a wonderful time to be in Oaxaca....so exciting! Great pics...the last one is hypnotic...
Awesome photos I love the colours the childrens everything I feast for the eyes
Wow....I agree that it is a great time to be there....have a blast!
Gorgeous colour Judy! Why don't we have that here??? Now I'm dying (LOL) to know if you tried the crickets!!! Were you brave enough?
No way, no crickets for me.
The kids look fantastic..those chillies..oh yeah!!!
Looks like you're having a great time Judy. Tell me , how are you coping with all of that colour? It makes my place look quite bland by comparison. There must be so much inspiration there around every corner.
Love the photos Judy. That is one thing I love about Mexico, is all the color! Did you and Michael dress up?
Vibrancy abounds. What an adventure!
OMG you are in our favorite city in the WORLD!!!!! WE have been talking about going back after Christmas, but were a bit worried about the unrest! Is it calm there? We have often talked about retiring in Oaxaca (if it weren't for the grandkids)! Now I am REALLY JEALOUS! (only kidding)
fabulous photos! I just left a blog award for you at mine...regards, nancy
Absolutely fantastic photos, Judy. Stay away from the crickets, though!
Wonderful photos Judy, hope you're having a fabulous time! Fiesta!
you are certainly getting the most out of Oaxaca. have you gone to eat by candlelight at Como Agua para Chocolate yet? Be sure to order the crepes for dessert. Hopefull the guitarist will be there too serenading you. Oaxaca is one of the hightlights of my life.
These photos tell such a great story. Reading through this post is the next best thing to being there. Hoping to see more!!!
looks like a wonderful colorful trip with lots of fabulous photos.. did you eat the crickets?
I just returned from Japan and LOVED IT THERE except for the all the strange foods.
Amazing colors so rich I can only imagine what it was like at night.

Judy what an amazing experience, what colourful children. Think our culture lacks something when you see these images.
Glorious images, Judy!
