Learning Zapotec from Don Alfredo



Here Don Alfredo teaches me about native plants like yerba del borracho.


Don Alfredo explains that he has a dog named Tango to protect his sheep and other animals from the coyotes.  




Don Alfredo explains that many of the local herbs are used in the Zapotec cooking.  





In this video Don Alfredo explains a little about the local mushrooms.  Some are edible and some are poisonous.  They look the same to me.  



In this video I learn some Zapotec from Don Alfredo after we get to Latuvi.  He says, "We have just arrived in the town of Latuvi.  We will see you later." in Zapotec.
