I had put off making the trek down to Soriana long enough. Supermarkets, even in Mexico, are not one of my favorite destinations and this is one of the smaller and less pleasing stores in the chain. However, I do enjoy the quiet of the streets on Sunday mornings and besides, I was curious about the drum and bugle corps I could hear practicing.
Stop number 1: Watching a little drummer girl and boy in the Plaza de la Danza.
Stop number 2: Noticing a newly installed cross in the atrium of the Basílica de la Soledad.
Stop number 3: Feeling like a queen strolling under a canopy of Royal Poinciana trees (Arbol de flamboyán) on calle Independencia.
A seven minute walk that took twenty seven — that’s how it is in Oaxaca.

That is 7 minutes of walking and 20 minutes of savoring. Nice balance.
Yes, I think so, too. 🙂
