Our lovely respite from crowds and traffic in San Agustin Etla





San Agustin Etla, a small town about 25 minutes outside Oaxaca is home to a lovely art space housed in a former textile factory.  We discovered here that if the main story of Mexico is color, the second half of that story is light, luz.  Relentless at times, but also rich and powerful, the light in Mexico is truly a jewel.

There was also a lovely little church that we took a look around.  Later in the evening there was to be a comparsa there, the parades with wonderful costumes.  We did not make it back for that...next trip!
