Baja Gal Wanderin'Around Oaxaca #4
Hola Don Bernie,
Oh, what can I say, every day comes with yet another wonder, first I spotted the tiny hummingbirds nest is on a branch the guava tree just below my
room, (so I get a birds eye view (jejeje, couldn't resist) of all the action that is going on there, no eggs yet, but wouldn?t that be awesome if they
stay and make babies right there below my nose! Than I had breakfast in this lovely garden setting hotel across the street from El Llano Park, with my
friend Cristina, (who is the lawyer that rented me a room when I first started this adventure). Than I went to see Herman, who is the computer wise
kid that develops my pictures, today he will be scanning an awesome Aztec calendar with a description of each month that was produced in 1974, (8
years before Herman was born), man, I swear every generation is smarter than the last, I can't believe what this kid already knows how to do, way
beyond me, I assure you. Anyway, collected some great smiles and vibes from him and the girls in the shop. And than more sweet greetings from the
ladies that run the little cafe where I get my fresh carrot beet juice on my way into the Internet to find this wonderful letter from Georock! She is
coming to town in Nov. Wow, all that and it is not even 10 a.m.
She and her son, Josh, are going to try the silkscreen class, even if they do just one class, I think it is worth it for the adventure of going to El
Tule on the bus, trying to figure out what you are doing in Spanish, and hanging out on the property, smelling Catalinas tortillas being roasted right
next to David's taller. Also, the yard is full of turkeys and chickens and dogs, it is a great outing from the city.
I have not been able to make it to Gekco all week, last Saturday was my last visit, surly Candy the waitress there will chew me out for not showing,
but it will be next week before I have a chance, I have been so busy this week.
The other day, I finished my first Santito Niche, I will send you a picture the next time I download the camera. It is a collage of all kinds of fun
little goodies that I have found over the last a couple of months as I wander the city streets and country markets, I am a total sucker for these
mercantile stores that sell glitter, tiny plastic flower, itty bitty baskets, etc, anyway, you will see what I mean when I send the picture.
Man oh man, I can't believe what a very lucky soul I am, every day is about play; I take pictures, draw, glue and paste, walk in awe with my head in
the clouds, (remember the series of pictures of clouds I sent you, well I am doing even more), and best of all collecting smiles every where I go on
my way.
Comment by Bernie?A while back Sara admitted that she had stumbled and hurt her leg, ?while wandering around the ?Jardin? with my head in the clouds,?
and had to rest and elevate her leg for a couple of days.
Oh! Yes, on this one I corrected the spelling after Sara?s last comment on the Nomad board.
Georock, please post Sara's response to you and when you get there you can give us a first hand up date on her doings.

Sara writes: "?every day is about play; I take pictures, draw, glue and paste, walk in awe with my head in the clouds."
All of us that post write with our own styles, some direct and guttural in relaying a hot fishing story, some just packed with information but
purposely emotionless, some dripping with heat, some filled with anger and hatred, and some with overwhelming love. We all come from different
backgrounds and worldly experiences but we often write in ways that enable each other to experience, as readers of the words, the feelings, the
emotions and the discoveries the writer is experiencing.
To me, that's the best kind of writing.
That's what I read with Sara?s words.

Sara,
Your stories are wonderful, please keep a record.
They are windows into your unique world view and they are beautiful and you should save them.
Who knows what joy they will give your family and friends in future readings?

Bernie....In looking for the whole series, I find #3 ...where are #1 & #2? Are they under a different title or hidden in another thread?  (I looked
up all of your posts)
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different
