In August 2011, Vive Oaxaca launched a campaign to showcase the best of the state through a series of video shorts. Two have already been released online:
Esto es Zaachila
and, Esto es Guelaguetza
I’m looking forward to Monday night’s online release of, Esto es Oaxaca de Juárez. I guess you know what my Tuesday morning blog post will be!

I was just walking home from a “mercadito” which is closeby my apartment in San Francisco. Had to get ingredients for the puerco en salsa de tomatillo that I have planned for this evening. I smelled woodsmoke as I walked up my block and was instantly transported to my beloved Oaxaca. I really long to be there right now. I look forward to checking out these videos and the next ones, too.
Your dinner sounds delicious. And, I know what you mean about the woodsmoke of Oaxaca. Wonder if it was copal you smelled…
