In Oaxaca for two nights. Yesterday after a late arrival because of the bus ride from Arriaga (the bus crashed into a taxi, nothing major but it took an hourīs discussion to find the guilty one and then make the papers). We just looked at what to do, and this morning we went to a town called Tule, where we saw a tree that is over 2000 years old. The exact dimensions are 58 meters circomference, 42 meters high and 14.05 meters wide. It weights over 800 tons, pretty big hey!
Then we traveled to another little town, that had some ruins but it was not so good. There was not that much to see but the markets were good and the people friendly. Alex keeps getting free bananas by just asking the women to give one to them and they love him they always do it!
