just read craigs blog about our lady of the coffee grounds
we have great pix of this
he did not mention that then, we went to the main square, and, typical oaxaca style, there was a noise fest. a wonderful noise fest. A 40 piece band playing danzon, a stage with 7th graders doing a pastorela, a boys choir doing joy to the world a la rock and role, and, a bunch of comparza bands accompanied by 2,000 young folks drinking free Sol beer.
then to celebrate this, we went ate. Delicious five star food at La Catedral. cesar salad made at the table elegantly with lime and egg and anchovies, and cream of chile poblano soup with baby corn, and very young pig roasted with chile sauce, and crepes with huitlacoche, and pecan pie and a very fine soft cabernet from Chile. both, with fine waiters and starlight and gentle music, for, $56 US total.
oh, and, the people dancing danzon, all had pink satin scarves around their necks, and a mode of total elegance. in spite of the fireworks going off, and all the other things going on.
