Oaxaca

Of course when they say 6 hour bus ride they really mean 8 hours. And the guy sitting behind you will spend the majority of the trip running a small sawmill while he sleeps despite the fact that he will drink an extra grande energy drink at the bathroom break. But it is a beautiful trip. Many rolling forrested hills, deep canyons and volkswagen factories.

But now we are in Oaxaca and feel as though we could settle for a while (we've been eyeing ads for rentals). But for now we have a nice hostal near the market. Our room is in that dark corner in the back, which is actually the front of the building over the street.

Todays food adventures took us the market where we had Oaxacan hot chocolate, chile relleno and huevos rancheros. About half the price of most restaurants.



I can't believe we've been here for almost a week. It's going too fast already, but we do have 8 more to go! It looks like Oaxaca will be a jumping off point for probably the next few weeks. There are many small towns to explore in the central valleys and who knows, we might find a place to rent for a while.
