First day in Oaxaca. A morning visit to the Dia de los Muertos market in the sprawling Abastos market to inhale the mingled scents of copal incense and marigolds and marvel at the many skeletal incarnations of Frida Kahlo. In the afternoon, a jaunt to San Martin Tilcajete to visit some carvers 'in situ' (with a stop for delicious chiles en nogagda)
