More Beautiful Mexican Color, Oaxacan Style

 
 
 
 

This is the bed and breakfast that Nora (the chef who taught our cooking class) and her family own (it used to be the family home.)  You can see the beautiful colors and compostitions.  I believe that all Mexicans, or at least 99%, have an aesthetic that is highly developed.  The simplest things done here have a quality of composition and style that create an environment of beauty in the markets, in simple altars that can be found everywhere, in decor and arts.  It is a beauty that has elements of chaos and discord and can be challenging but breathtaking at times.  And there is Cate talking with Nancy, one of the other participants in the cooking class.
