Ahhh… I’m back in my new and improved Casita Colibrí. Friday night, with lightning flashing all around the Embraer, my fellow passengers and I bounced our way across Mexico and back to Oaxaca. Gracias, Hurricane Erick for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! With appreciation and relief, spontaneous applause erupted when the little plane landed.
There have been many changes in the 7 weeks I’d been gone… Juan finished the screens on my doors and windows; they are beautifully made and not a single mosquito has been seen or heard! I left at the end of the dry season; golden-brown hills and fields and a constant coating of dust dulled nature’s and human-applied colors. I returned to the lush green hills and fields of the rainy season and the lustrous green leaves and red-orange blossoms of my African tulip trees.
And, new street art gleamed…
Oaxaca in technicolor!
Oy, I can’t stand it. So so beautiful!
wooooheeee – That’s impressive! Is there some sort of mural ‘concurso’ going on? Looks like all the walls are doing it!
I’ll bet it feels wonderful to be back home again….. all of the color is your ticker tape parade, Oaxaca is welcoming you!!
