{The city altar for Semana Santa, complete with chia pet ofrendas}
It’s Semana Santa and the celebrations here in Oaxaca are big. It’s been a challenging week with lots of traffic and people, and not as much street food as our normal vendors took off the week to celebrate with their families. But there has been fun and festivities at every turn this week. I also took a quick afternoon trip out into the Oaxaca valley – up to a town in the mountains, actually.
