Un hombre muy simpático.

When I visit Oaxaca I often spend time at the children’s’ library. A beautiful space that integrates exterior and interior beautifully. It is quiet and a welcome respite from the busy markets and street scene. I sit in the toddlers room trying to read the little fairy tale books so I can maybe learn some Spanish. It's tough going for me even with the baby books. But I'll keep at it.
The children are so well behaved here. Generally so happy. The adults quiet and loving.
