Arrived in Oaxaca yesterday afternoon after a longer journey than anticipated from Mexico city, getting out of the city took 2 hours in impossible traffic. The city isn't winning its battle against traffic. Mexico is a big country, on the road to Oaxaca, a 6 hour journey, we barely passed any towns or people, just miles and miles of empty land. Many Americans come to Oaxaca to study ...

... a month. He speaks English and can be reached at: mario_raul_diaz_1@hotmail.com. There is no point in mentioning my name as he would not know me from Adam. This info is provided simply as a reference point.<br><br>On a personal level my blogging of Oaxaca should be a highlight due to its stature as one of the great destinations of tourists, students and expats alike. My timing in writing about Oaxaca (June 26, 2009) however couldn&#8217;t be worse as our planned three-year ...

... the members of the family sacrifices a chicken and on the floor they have several fizzy drinks such as coke, sprite etc. My guide told me (for free lol) that the bubbles in the drink represents life and this was part of the healing process. The church is filled with smoke and in addition to the very loud praying of the families are the men at the back of the room who every 10 mins or so play carnival type music and sing along as if its a ...

... safe family feel, everybody seems to be out at night having dinner or checking out the free concerts in the town square. We tried one of two of Oaxaca's famous dishes, one was the Mole which is a sauce made from chocolate and spices. The other was crickets fried in salsa, they stank so we kept right away from them. We had two ...

... and ordered dinner. Chicken soup with rice and vegetables, some tacos and 2 diet cokes. I figured because I hadn´t eaten yet, splurging on a big dinner was no big deal (mind you, that all came to $112 Pesos, or $11.20 USD). I ate all of the soup and the bread they delivered with it, but could then only make it through one and a half of my tacos. Demasiado! I also figured out that while my Spanish is still fairly non existant, I´m fantastic at ordering food. Who is ...

... at school today and I had a new teacher, Adrianna, she is really good, she uses flashcards to teach you verbs which is so helpful because I used to do that sometimes in college. I have a student with me in class finally! He is from Germany and will be in Mexico for three months but only in Oaxaca for one week. He is very nice and also shy. He is in both my grammar and conversation class. For conversation class I have Hugo but its not pronounced like Hugo ...

... I visited a museum recommended by Aurora and enjoyed a special exhibit of the work of Francisco Toledo, a leading modern Oaxaca artist who seems to have a fascination with insects. And skeletons. A great combination, especially in the print of a skeleton jumping robe on a spider's web. Nancy is still not well, so our travel plans might need to change. We were planning on taking the overnight bus to Villahermosa and then on to Palenque. We shall see.
