                  -Noviembre Oaxaca Cultural 2014
November is a month of free musical concerts.  Musicians from around the world play in several venues around town.  Unfortunately I did not find out about these until Thursday, but since then I have seen a strings concert and a piano-horns concert in the Teatro Macedonaio Alcala.  I was glad to finally have the opportunity to see this theater.  It seats about 700 people on 5 levels.  There are about 250 floor seats and the remainder are all box seats.  This is one of many Mexico theaters built by, you guessed it, Portfirio Diaz.  He had a mistress who was a great singer so he had the taxpayers build theaters worthy of her performance. Here is a picture of me in one of the box seats
