Place is absolutely stuffed with Mexican folk art. Proprietor is an American woman with contacts among the artisans in the surrounding villages. Food downtown is fabulous. At Teotitlan del Valle they buy raw wool from shepherds in the mountains. This couple and their 16-year old son clean, card, dye, spin and weave it. I bought the rug.RNJ Stephen, being "trapped" at mom's house eating Christmas tamales sounds pretty good to me. Richard, glad you are enjoying Oaxaca for Christmas. For my part, Marta and I are spending Christmas at the Bavarian Inn, near shepherdstown, West Virginia. Fireplaces in our room and in the main dining room. Just finished Christmas dinner and polished it off with three glasses of port in the "Ratskeller" bar. Marta's Christmas gifts to me are two books: "A Gentleman in Moscow," by Amor Towls, and "American Ulysses," a biography of Ulysses S. Grant by Ronald C. White. Both first rate. Merry Christmas, Bill
