Saturday afternoon, I returned to Teotitlán del Valle with my neighbor Marga for that evening’s world premiere of “La Festividad de los Muertos,” a film documenting Day of the Dead in Teotitlán (more about that in an upcoming post). Transportation back to the city late at night would have been challenging, so it was an ideal excuse to finally spend the night in one of my favorite villages. Marga booked the last room at Casa Elena and I stayed across the street at Las Granadas (both recommended).
Sunday morning, I was awakened by roosters crowing, burros braying, cohetes (all bang, no bling fireworks) exploding, and the sound of a band playing. Breakfast wasn’t to be served until 8:30 am, so I went for an early morning walk.
An enchanting way to begin the day.

Reading this, after having lunch with Michael (Peed) yesterday, has me yearning to return to Oaxaca!
It’s displaced all other thoughts!
Ahhh Oaxaca….. I miss you!
Come back! Btw, I didn’t know you knew Michael.
I’ve been talking to Michael for a couple of years now, ever since I bought his DVD on Dolares. This was the first time we met in ‘real life’ 🙂
He is the person who told me about your blog!
We love Casa Elena! Our most favorite spot (besides our apartmento). Excited to hear about the film. Excited to think of you and Marga in Teotitlan. You better watch out Shannon, you will want to be moving once again to that certain little village….
I’m definitely planning to return!
It was great reading about you and Marga off on an adventure! These two B&B’s look like wonderful places to stay. No roosters or burros in Alaska…in fact, there’s dead silence. Kind of weird.
I know what you mean about the weirdness of quiet!
