I’m SO done with this so-called, Polar Vortex! I was supposed to fly into Albany, NY on Thursday night. It’s now Saturday morning, I’ve gotten as far as Chicago, and killing time until tonight’s flight by sorting through sun-drenched, color-filled, warm-weather Oaxaca photos. Even if the weather gods and goddesses are not cooperating, at least their cyber siblings are on the job providing WiFi — thus a new blog post.
This watch-repair, jewelry, and gifts (large or small) shop on Calle 20 del Noviembre is owned by Alekos Gatonas, originally from Macedonia. He studied at the University of Chicago, met his Oaxaqueña wife, and eventually they moved to Oaxaca. He and his family also own the event venue, “Zorba El Griego” and a Greek restaurant on the way to El Tule, “El Griego.”
By the way, “EΛΛΔΣ” translates into the Spanish word, “ellas,” which can be translated into English as “including.”

I hope you have a good reason for undergoing this suffering.
My grandson’s 2nd birthday. 😉
Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow shall keep a grandmother from her appointed rounds.
hope you get there by the third.
Is that anyway for Santo Gordo to talk?!!
We hope you have made it to NY by now! It was interesting to read about this store, where wee have bought things but had no idea about the owner.
Arrived in Albany at 3 AM on Sunday… just hours before the party. I’m SO cold!!!
