JM normally provides the content for the Chiripa blog, but, since he's just back from Mexico I thought I'd do another post with images from the March trip that didn't illustrate the log from that trip.
I make it a point to visit the English language bookstore in Oaxaca to get ideas for books we might carry at Chiripa. One late afternoon in March I was casually browsing the shelves when I heard a loud commotion outside the window. Looking out I saw a parade in the making.
The "band" stopped right by my window and the young women in traditional Oaxacan dress started dancing.
Just as quickly as it had started they moved on down the street delighting the crowds outside.
The workers in the bookstore just kind of shrugged when asked about the reason for the parade. It had something to do with education, but they weren't really sure.
It was fun, colorful, and unexpected. A perfect Chiripa (happy accident) for me.
