Dear Diary,
Last Friday me when to Teotitlán with my friends; I went to visit Teotitlan del Valle and I could see different places.
Thet met in the church, the market, the archaeological site and the people; in the church of the stones have been drawn to the Zapotec culture is oxidized, this church represents something in this culture, in the village houses and Odor: wood saw houses the church, the marcket, flavored bread Teotitlán and eat "Enfrijoladas" I heard birds and animals, the characteristic of "Cochineal" is an insect that being sunburned and combined with other natural substances which makes Sulten different colors and that makes people work chelates with these colors in rugs, blankets etc. These people work in the field, sewing, cooking or help the family, the positive of this place is quiet, the silence, the rustic about this place is beautiful. The archaeological site is interesent on the rocks is because cotain drawings from this period. I like the marcket (main market area) in addition to food and everything they sell you can see how people live or their environment, these people speak Zapotec village and some speak Spanish and English.While walked to center they saw were like the houses, the shops, the center really surprised when we see the architecture of the church and the site arqueológico.Cuando were in the church that we saw with paintings painted most of the drawings, this church has few holy sculptures why most are painted.
This place is intereting by its landscaped attraction and what is defined by the "cochineal" and manufacred there, state, national and internatinal recognized by tourism.
