Oaxaca's cathedral. The large plaza fronting it is called the Alameda, and it adjoins the Zocalo, or main square. Together, the two plazas create a wonderful public space, which is filled in the evenings with musicians and vendors. It's a wonderful place to get some street food...
...to do a little surreptitious smooching...
...buy a balloon or cheap chinese toy for your kids from somebody else's kids....
...get your shoes shined....
...or catch a performance. Last evening there was a band playing Danzon and dozens of couples dancing. There were several strolling musicians, a marimba band, and this clown. An hour spent people-watching in the Alameda on a fine Oaxaca evening is pleasant indeed.
How lovely! I hope you and Homero wee one of he snuggling couples. I can' wait to see it all when I get there.
