Oaxaca: The Last Leg
Filed under Mexico 2004 | Leave a Comment
Good evening! I am back at school and surrounded by at least two feet of snow. Quite a difference from the sunny beaches of Acapulco! Anyway, I have yet to recount my findings in Oaxaca and my trip back to the States. A week ago today, I and two other bandies, Melissa and Cathy, set out on a bus from Acapulco to Mexico City. Five hours later, we arrived and …continue reading

Buenos dias de Taxco! (Tas-co) It’s been awhile between emails, because I either haven’t found time or places to send messages from. If I recall, my last email came from before our departure to Puebla. We reached Puebla in the late afternoon and were dropped off at a small market (items for sale, not food). After 1.5 hrs of browsing around, we met at the city’s zocalo to get back …continue reading
