Hi Gus...the rug looks beautiful. Have a question...is that the town that is famous for woodcarvings of animals etc? For a time I collected them and really enjoyed the art form..

[Gus Cobos]

Hi Dave,
They do wood carvings and allot of pottery, also work silver...:):cool:

[Harold Davis]

Nice shot. I love Oaxaca. Too bad about all the political unrest. Did you make it to Teotitlan del Valle (rugs), SanMartin (wooden animals)?
