Bio
Dreamed my way from Texas to Oaxaca on a wing and a prayer. Candle-maker; jewelry artesan; short stint as a carpenter; currently providing English-speaking tours to gringo tourists. Lover of the indigenous culture of Oaxaca; the people, the art, the music, the food.....ahhh, the food! Love, love, love to read, but I am not a writer. Although an ex-pat, I still love the U.S., warts and all, as only a "crazy bleeding-heart, left-wing, progressive, liberal, peace-loving radical" can. Did I cover it all? Amid all the contradiction that is Mexico, my heart is at home. "It is better to die on your feet, than live on your knees" Emiliano Zapata UPDATE: As of April 6, 2011 will be returning to Texas for 6 months, but back in Oaxaca in time for la navidad.
