fame on someone else´s blog

my friend jenny in my spanish school is writing a blog and hers has pictures, and now i´m jealous. i appear on her blog in both written and photograph form, you can see it here along with her views on oaxaca so far etc:

so my new year´s resolution is to add pictures to mine. i know my writing is amazing but apparently a picture speaks 1000 words right, so that will be a lot less writing by that formula. watch this space...

in other news we went to a little chamber music concert last night. it was nice to see some live music, but slightly scratchy and a little off time and out of tune, no offence to the mexican musicians or anything. there was a wobbly paving stone and i worried my chair would fall through it during the concert. today is dia del virgen de guadulope, the patron saint of mexico, we went to a church earlier to see what was happening, it was really busy. the children all dress up in traditional mexican dress, and the boys paint moustaches on their faces as apparently this virgin first appeared to a mexican man with a moustache. then they pose for photos infront of little religious scenic pictures. tonight there are fireworks.

  1. I might need that catalogue number, I don't think I know the pencils you mean. Wouldn't want your hopes to be dashed by some incorrect pencillage...
