Two videos from a trip to Patzcuaro

I’m posting these two videos, one was a visit at night to the market for tacos, just loved this guy and the other a visit to the cemetery where I was fascinated by the woman holding the candle and the singing of this song. No action but something about the lost life of the person who they were burying and the attempt of this woman to keep her flame going struck me.

Last night sitting outside the cafe, listening the Claudio playing on of my favorite songs by Silvio Rodriguez, Te doy una canción, rain pouring down as we sat mezerized by this dynamic singer. I called him the Robin Williams of music. His rhythm, voice, guitar playing, everything was so right on that I could not get enough, couldn’t move, just wanted to sit and take it all in. Going back tonight no matter the weather.

In Oaxaca for Day of the Dead.

After a very long time of not posting here I’ve decided to begin posting again on the weblog. It seems time to do this again and most of the posts will be photos though some writing may be added. I wanted to post photos of my trip to Oaxaca, my second time here. There are some high points that I will write about sometime but for now the posting will be mostly photos. Keep checking as this link my change to another shortly.
