We had been called over by the vendor called Michael who ...

... small village, and people travel from all kinds of surrounding villages to buy and sell their wares. I bought an awesome hammock. I saw the Tule Tree - the World's (at least the Western Hemisphere's) biggest tree (circumference). There's a whole town built around it - not to mention an entire tourist industry of shops and food stalls. I went to a village where ...

These two markets alone are worth the trip to Oaxaca.<br><br>The Mercados sell various forms of chocolate including the Mole Colaradito or Mexican Chocolate sauce, the coffees, the meats, the poultry, the dry goods, the fruits, and almost anything else imaginable.

... the wife left a week after I arrived, supposedly to Acapulco, and things have slowly but surely gotten worse with just the husband there. He is what I would call a bit of a "control freak" and has no respect for me (typical of latin men), my space or my privacy.
