Man, check out that paint job! This is in a place called San Martín Tilcajete as I recall. We went to look for alebrijes. Anyway, this house left no doubt as to the ubicación of the hoity-toitey residents. The gate might be my favorite part, especially becasue it's like a preview, or a menu, because you can hear the noises of the all the animals featured going on behind the gate. And more! All the places we've gone to outside of City of Oaxaca have been quite a bit more rural. The typical house seems to be the family compound behind a gate with a few buildings around a central plaza that has cows, burros, lots of turkeys and turkey babies, maybe some chickens and maybe a dog. And probably something burning. It's pretty cool.
You can also see one of the neighbors and a bit of the countryside. It's really pretty except for the HUGE SPIDERS draped over anything horizontal. I tried to take a picture but it didn't express their menace. They are as big as my hand and all crowded together in their webs over everything.
