last weeks in Oaxaca



Manuel and Kristi! Manuel I miss you already..

And then there were fireworks for Jesus

More spinning balls of fire for Jesus (this is Easter)

Good Friday silent procession for Jesus (a statue of Jesus is carried out of all the churches around the city)

embroidered landscape art of the church of Santo Domingo

mural in a guitar school

famous old aqueduct arches in Oaxaca by my house (they were in the Jack Black movie Noche Libre)
silk and cotton traditional hupil dresses

silk thread, those brown blobs in the upper right is unbleached cotton

small bracelet looms

on a backstrap loom (these portable thangies came before the Spanish brought the uprights that are mostly used today)

Santo Domingo!

On the walking street, Alacala

more backstrap, silk backstrap weaving was sort of lost but some villages are working to bring the tradition back

silk worms

toilets.
