Oaxaca
We got up, had some breakfast, packed our bags, and then taxied it to the bus station to head to Oaxaca and southern Mexico. Another successful Mexico City taxi ride. All in all I felt that we saw a lot of Mexico City. Our legs and feet are sore but it was worth it.
The bus ride to Oaxaca was beautiful. The majority of the road was atop high mountains looking down into deep valleys bellow where white goats were making their way along the mountainside. Even better there was only one other person on the bus besides ourselves so it was like we had chartered the trip ourselves.
Once in Oaxaca we ran into one of our friends Jonathan, a 23 year-old from Isreal who took classes with us in Guanajuato. He was on his way to San Cristobal, our next stop as well, and he gave us some pointers on what to do in Oaxaca before his bus departed.
We were unable to locate a hostel that had a room available so we settled for a mid-range hotel near the city center. Tonight we splurged on dinner at a great restaurant across the street from the hotel. Mole Negro is the specialty down here so I made it my main course; Em had a chile relleno stuffed with corn and shredded pork.
After dinner we walked around the town a bit and then headed back to the hotel to get some sleep.
