Springtime in Oaxaca
Friday, March 20, 2009Today’s the first day of spring, though in Oaxaca it has been quite summer-like for a good month more. It’s been quite warm here and dry. Very enjoyable I think. Come summer, it actually cools off here somewhat and rains a bit.
To commemorate the first day of spring, there is a children’s day environmental parade going on through the centro of Oaxaca. Various daycares, including Benjamin’s, are participating in the parade. The children are dressed up in various costumes with a spring/environmental theme: mostly as animals, but some were decked out as things to recycle and as trash that shouldn’t be thrown out on the street. There are a couple of bands leading the parade through the streets of Oaxaca, starting off at the Santo Domingo church, and wending their way through the streets of Oaxaca.
