Casa Oaxaca

... my attendance to South Africa next year - Bo!
That night we then went to a bar to watch Mexico beat Honduras and confirm their place at
the world cup as well. Good to see the yids (Dos Santos & Palacios) representing both teams!

Today I wandered around the town for most of the day taking pictures and just appreciating
the place. The buildings and architecture here are amazing. Real traditional hacienda stylee
and how you percieve Mexico to be before ...

... reveal massively well preserved temples and sites including the famous pyramid . Another very hot day and when we arrived the cost of entry double anywhere esle in Mexcio and no museum sadly. However the site was very very mpressive and despite the hordes of swimwear clothed tourists from Cancun we enjoyed the ruins. There was a cenote ( wate filled caverns where the roof fell in to reveal a large well type natural area and deep) there that the Mayans threw offerings into ...

... sat on chairs listening, behind them there are banners of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, I wonder if they purposefully left off Trotsky. There's a real political mix here, stalinism, indigenism, trotskism, environmentalism, new, old, no one really knows which direction to go in, what will offer most hope. All the while around the main square people are selling their wares to the tourists.

It is raining right now so hopefully it will stop soon so I can go out and do stuff. I walked down to get something to eat at the Italian place where they have really good pizzas and when I was walking out I ran into the boys talking in front of ...

... We appreciate our mothers trying to preserve our reputation to our grandparents, but because we know you guys (grandma and grandpa) are cool and love us, we are certain that you will forgive us for having one or two tequilas too many. We are, after all, in Mexico. That said, rest assured that we are actually behaving, and in the words of my mom, minding our pīs and qīs. Alright, Iīm quitting now. Wolfe says howdy, and doesnīt have anything to add. Facher out.

What would a Zapotec (or, for that matter, an Inca or Celt), staring at the modern world think of what has become of what they once knew? Such incomprehensible concepts that push the borders of imagination tend to make me stop and ponder ... Spending a whole day surrounded by the remains of an ancient culture I still found it quite ...
