Views from the top

It`s now Tuesday morning, another day of local connection. we met a couple who have lived in Oaxaca for 16 years; Stan and Diana.  An interesting couple who have been through a lot here in the political unrest of Oaxaca and Mexico politics.  They showed us a great little local lunch place, and we shared the afternoon together.We took a quick trip back to the apartment and met a fellow resident, Liz.  Liz lived here for four months a couple of years ago, and is back to stay for 6 months and is looking for a job as an english teacher.Liz took us to the top of a hill where we climbed a million steps and then hiked up a road to the best view of Oaxaca city.  We walked through town, and she gave us a great ad-hoc tour of what she knew and was familiar with. We made a lot of little video snippets of parks, streets and public areas around the city.Here are some pictures from yesterday!  The one with the three ghosts was taken at our newly discovered vantage point.  A fifteen second exposure - with the three of us stepping out of the frame after 10 seconds.photos
