Adiós to 2014. It was another year filled with the always amazing and often surprising sights and sounds of Oaxaca.
January – The new year began with a Quinceañera at Iglesia Sangre de Cristo on the Macedonio Alcalá.
February – Most of the month was spent in California and New York, but returned to Oaxaca sun, blue sky, and buildings with character.
March – Ahhh… the flowers, the boys, and the girls of the “only in Oaxaca” Paseo de los Viernes de Cuaresma.
April – The banners of the Procesión del Silencio (Procession of Silence) on Good Friday during Semana Santa (Holy Week).
May – Karen and Jasen Willenbrink exhibition at Gorilla Gallery.
June – Pretty in pink, a protest by tuk-tuks (moto-taxis) on the zócalo.
July – Up into the Sierra Norte for the Feria Regional de Hongos Silvestres (Wild mushrooms fair) in San Antonio Cuajimoloyas.
August – Mini Guelaguetza sponsored by the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS) on the Plaza de la Danza.
September – A rainy morning walk up to the presa (dam), Piedra Azul in Teotitlán del Valle.
October – Day of the Dead tapetes de arena in progress on the Plaza de la Danza.
November – Ofrenda in San Pablo Villa de Mitla with the village’s traditional and intricately decorated pan de muerto.
December – Nochebuenas (poinsettias) for sale at mercado Sánchez Pascuas.

Beautiful photos! Oaxaca is definitely on my Mexico bucket list!
Thank you. And, yes, you definitely should come to Oaxaca. Have a great 2015!
Great post – quite representative of the months in Oaxaca!
Gracias, Marilyn. Missing all the action… life is quieter, colder, and less colorful in el norte. 😉
I love your blog…I have been reading it for several years. You keep me connected to the Oaxaca that I love.
Muchisimas gracias for your kind words! I hope you plan to return.
I live in Oaxaca vicariously through you Shannon. You capture the beauty and culture so well in your photos and posts.
Thanks, Sandi. Even in the frozen norte, you certainly live a warm and active life. All the best to you and Bill in 2015!!!
