All's Well at Casa Tejedora


In El Tuito Plaza






El Tuito Plaza


Jenny Enjoying The Wait For Lunch 


We break for lunch at 1:00 when we walk to a marvelous little restaurant across from the Plaza in El Tuito. It's about a ten minute walk which gives us a nice little stretch. What is most wonderful about this retreat is that everything is new and yet everything is familiar. Memories of being with the same people with all the same familiar sites of this little town touch a warm spot in your heart. The food at Mario's is always a delight. So far; Chili rellenos and chicken mole. Fish fillet today, I hear. His seasonings are rich and full of nuance. The atmosphere is delightful — eating at a long table in the shade of a space facing a charming courtyard.  Birds with their cages open sing to us throughout the meal.

The weavings in the studio are progressing at a surprisingly rapid pace. Such fun to see. This is the first time I have been here with a plan to not weave but spend all my time designing. I'm learning to draw all my favorite local birds and hope next week to combine the birds with favorite Zapotec shapes. We'll see.
