For the first time since February 25, 2020, I ventured out of Oaxaca city. The pull of my fully vaccinated family in el norte and with no word regarding when the second Pfizer vaccine would be given in Oaxaca, I booked a flight up to California for April 15 (five weeks after my first jab) and a 10:00 AM vaccination appointment at CVS for the next day. Needless to say, I was very grateful to not have to stand in line for hours. However, I am already missing my weekly Friday morning hike up to Pochote Xochimilco Mercado Orgánico y Artesanal.

By the way, the city began offering the second dose of the vaccine the day I left.

Great photos – thanks
Thank you!
So it must have been easy to get a rapid response covid test for entry into the US? I’m hoping to come to Oaxaca City this fall, and that’s a concern. Suggestions?
I flew up to Tijuana and then walked across the border, so I didn’t need a covid test. However, many of the labs in Oaxaca offer the tests and for an extra fee, a lab tech will come to your hotel.
Thank you!
Safe travels. I appreciate your photographic perspectives of Oaxaca and your love of the artists who live there.Marilynn

Thanks, Marilynn! Travel up to California was a little challenging, but all is well. I was able to get my second vaccination the day after I arrived and now I’m enjoying seeing family and friends. Be well!
