A Year in Oaxaca

We've purchased our plane tickets and plan to depart for Oaxaca in three short weeks. I sort of wish we could have been there yesterday, however, when demonstrators marched peacefully through the city on the anniversary of the clash that sparked 5 months of discord between teachers, activists, and Oaxacan and federal police.

Check back here over the next few weeks as I learn more about last year's protests, the politics behind them, and the city and state of Oaxaca today as Jenna and I prepare for our trip.
