| The first place to go when getting to town, the church bell towers. Pay a guide that waits in front of the church 20 pesos, and learn about the history of the church and town, and take in wonderful views. |
 |
| There are great views in every direction |
 |
| Right now, end of June, and well into the rainy season, there is green everywhere |
 |
| The blind wife of the church guide, and maker of wax candles. |
 |
| Gateway to Dixza Rugs and Organic Farm, a great place to stay via AirBnB. This was my second visit staying there. Totally recommended. |
 |
| In taking photos around town, I especially was looking at doors and windows |
 |
| A new museum is under construction |
 |
| Many doorways lead to courtyards of weavers and their families |
 |
| Next trip I may want to rent a bicycle |
 |
| Back at Dixza farm, an AirBnB guest gets a lesson in rug weaving |
 |
| Our host shows us a special rug woven by his father |
 |
| Here Samuel, our host at Dixza Farms, explains a bit about the Zapotec symbols woven into the rugs his family weaves |
 |
| The Jaguar restaurant, on the main road back to Oaxaca, and a short walk from the church and the marketplace, has become my favorite place for a meal |
 |
| They also have a great display of rugs |
 |
| The Jaguar kitchen |
 |
| Morning walks into the nearby hills help put the town into perspective |
 |
| There is a lot of construction going on around town, and much evidence of constructions from past times |
 |
| Ancient layers of construction evident between the artisan marketplace, and the church |
