Into our 2nd week in Oaxaca and all is well.
The first week was spent in spanish classes. I am still a beginner.
The food has been largely great, except for one notable disaster dinner. The sights are fascinating. Highlights include the fiesta of the radishes (look it up) and eating fried grasshoppers (never again).
We did a 2-day trek in the mountains north of Oaxaca and that was amazing. Photos and anecdotes to follow at some point.
This afternoon we hope to visit a neighboring village where the specialty is colorful carved wooden animals. Tomorrow we hope to make it to Monte Alban.
We have encountered an amazing number of folks from the pacific northwest, and Portland in particular.
Will write more at some point (access is difficult and this mexican keyboard not quite as confusing as in Turkey).
Adios for now, everybody.
