Hi all, I certainly miss being in Oaxaca! However, your stories and pictures make the place really come alive for me.
My flights back to the Bay Area were uneventful but despite 70 minutes between flights in Mexico City my checked bag did not make it on the Mexicana Airlines flight - they delivered them to the office 2 days later. I suggest that if you have a tight connection that you not place anything that you cannot live without.
I will be meeting this Friday with Ted Rico, the Director of the Centro Binacional para el Desarrollo Indigena Oaxaquena in Salinas,. This is a program supporting immigrant agricultural and service workers and their families from Oaxaca - their information is on this web page. http://www.fiob.org/centro.html
My hope is that we can establish a collaboration with them that will provide educational and service opportunities for all and the ability to understand better the issues that Oaxacans face when they emigrate to the US. I'll let you all know how the meeting went.
Our house is being torn apart today and the degree of termite damage and rot around a window we are replacing is terrible. Tomorrow we get the news as far as how extensive the reconstruction project will have to be. I doubt that I will be able to return next week.
Walter, make sure if you are not back to your usual health soon that you get some help from Dr. Tenorio.
To the rest of you, keep healthy and doing good things. Thanks for the update.
Gabe
