Teotitlan del Valle and The Tule Tree

After our vist to the market we came closer home and went to the rug weaving village. A clean, prosperous looking place, but quiet on a Sunday. We looked at rugs and got a demonstration of how to dye wool. Kent and I will think about going back to buy another day.

I got to thinking that I hadn't included a bird of paradise plant yet. It's got to be de rigeur with blogs from the tropics.




We took these new streets as another indication of prosperity.


Very close to Oaxaca is the oldest tree in the world--or at least that is what is claimed. The sign at the foot says that it is over 2000 years old. It is an amazing tree.




And inside the church at the tree in Tule. Churches are more lavishly decorated than they were in the Yucatan. This one is quite modest compared to the Cathedral downtown and Santo Domingo.
