Scenes from El Llano

an after-school soccer game

I don't know what this was.  There had been a band and dancing and I just caught the end of the festivities.  Whatever it was, looks like a lot of eligible ladies.

Political statement at the Zócalo

Some items in a Zapatista women's rights group display.
"Women have rights to be heard. we are fighting for the dignity of all."

House of Burgers

Went walking in the southwest part of town.  Of course, if you walk long enough in any direction, you start to climb steeply uphill.  On this small street a house had this "House of Burgers" sign.  Very mysterious.  In Oaxaca, there are people selling all sorts of things everywhere, both on the streets and out of buildings.

Up a street in the same neighborhood.  I love these small narrow climbing streets.

Another street, going down:
The more time I spend walking around in it, the more beautiful the city becomes.

Plaza Del Danza

This area is in the Southwest part of town.  Between Basilica de la Soledad and Templo de San Jose, the Plaza Del Danza is one of the sites for Quelaquetza. The stairs form seating for watching native dancers perform.
