Oaxaca Highlights

One of Santo Domingo's two bell towers (biggest church in town).

Looking through the grate on the second story window of the Italian coffee shop, one sees the sword agave plants (for mescal) planted in front of Santo Domingo.

Room at Casa Pereyra with a loft, kitchenette, and shared patio -- the downside was that it was on a very busy, noisy street

Casa de Oaxaca restaurant

Courtyards

 

Patio at the Benito Juarez museo

Column next to church door

Pochote with metal cactus sculptures at base at Biznaga

Banda de Música del Estado de Oaxaca playing in the Zócalo on Sunday afternoons.

International dance festival: 6 pm performances for free, every night in the Jardin del Pañuelito.

 

Ocotlán, to the southwest - odd juxtoposition of ancient stonework in convent courtyard

Church in Etla, to the north.

The ubiquitous bandstand.

White wrought-iron bench.

Teotilán delle Valle - tranquil and lovely, neat as a pin.

View of Picacho (Cerro GieBets - Zapotec)
