I arrived in Oaxaca just as it was abuzz with energy and anticipation for the upcoming holiday . . .
The ancient Aztec account of the creation of the earth begins with an eternally hungry woman spirit . . .
Jon's flight from Tijuana to Oaxaca was nearly empty, but amongst the vacant seats he still made a friend with the one person who happened to sit next to him: Hugo . . .

I'm sure my announcement last year to friends and family of "I'm Moving to Mexico" mostly conjured up images of beaches and beer . . .
We had many burning curiosities about this Oaxacan fiesta . . .
ni una palabra sin lucha . . .
I lost my watch the second week I arrived in Mexico . . .
Cinco de Mayo is not the anniversary of Mexico's Independence, nor Revolution. . .
Ever since I was a kid, I've enjoyed long walks on busy streets . .
