Kit and Carol on the Road

Actually it is much too hot here. This is probably not the best time of year to visit. But we are having fun. Well-- Kit is not feeling well. Usually I am the one feeling sick. Kirsten and I went out this morning to make arrangements for our Saturday trip and see some more of the town. We visited an arts center where they have classes is music, dance, etc. There were many small children there. We saw groups of preschoolers at Monte Alban as well. We think they are just practicing field trips.

This afternoon Kit went with us to the village of Arrizola where they make the painted animals. We took a taxi to the bus station and then a collectivo taxi to the village. It was VERY cheap. Alas there was no place to eat lunch in the village but we walked around and looked into lots of workshops. We could watch all parts of the process and talk to the carvers with Kirsten´s help. I would not want to be here without her. (John, I got your lizard but the peacocks would be too hard to transport) Anyway, now we are sitting out the hot pàrt of the day again and will have dinner later in the cool.
