Pictures from our last day in Oaxaca.

Dear Family and Friends,

We started our last day in Oaxaca by walking to the main square so Chuck could get his shoes polished.

He gets his shoes polished every week back in Ecuador.  We have been away since September, so his shoes really needed a good polishing.  

Chuck loved the fact that the polisher stuck paper protectors between his shoe and socks.  This does not happen back home.

Okay Chuck, show the folks your shoeshine.  Quite impressive wouldn't you say?

We decided to take a walk to the market.

We started in the part of the market where people can order food.

This person had that Mexican pizza dish.  On close inspection, it appears that this dish has squash blossoms on it.  

Doesn't this grapefruit look so yummy?  All peeled and ready to snack on.

Some beautiful baskets in the basket section.

And some very interesting clothing left over from the Day of the Dead.

Some scenes around the beautiful central park.

You see the shallow roots on this tree?

Well it is amazing how much these resting boys remind me of those roots.

We had a very relaxing last day in Oaxaca.  Our day ended by watching these folks dancing.  Apparently the old folks take over the street about once a week after the sun sets.  I just love it.

The following morning we caught our flight back to Tucson.  

So, this is all for this trip.  But as you are reading this....Chuck and I are on another tour.  This time we are traveling the Southeast Coast of the USA.   We are traveling from St Augustine, FL. up the coast to Charleston, SC.  

I do not have my laptop on this trip, but I promise to share all about it when we return to Tucson about mid December.  

Love you,

Nancy
