The Alcala´

I just returned from the Alcala which is the main tourist street in town.  Here is a list of activities I encountered during my two block walk.  First, there was a wedding at Santa Domingo which is the fanciest church in Oaxaca.  Weddings at Santa Domingo come complete with parade featuring  20 foot tall replicas of the bride and groom.  This is also accompanied by a band.  As I continued along the street I encountered a violin and accordion duo and then 5 men serenading a maiden in her window.  And don´t forget about the clowns, they are everywhere.
