Oaxaca, Mexico 2010: First week of settling in

We celebrated Lea's birthday with a Quemén cake and a trip to see the Guelaguetza traditional Oaxacan dances, which included the Pineapple Adoration dance.




We walked around the city center, trying to find the things we needed, like banks and grocery stores.


And we were constantly being startled from the sound of firecrackers, which went off at totally inexplicable times of night and day.
