My Birthday
Today I turned 29. What did we do to celebrate? Play video games and drink beer? Nope, I’m married. We started the day at a botanical garden.
We showed up at 11:00 for the 2 hour plus tour of the botanical garden in Oaxaca that featured flora and fauna from across the state. It was actually very interesting. Oaxaca is one of the most diverse places on the face of the earth for flora and fauna. By the time it got close to 2:00 we had seen a good deal of it.
After the garden we headed over to another plaza on the north end of town and found a good place to have a nice birthday lunch. It was a seafood restaurant that Em had read about and we both had excellent meals and pretty much stuffed ourselves.
For the rest of the afternoon we finished uploading photos at an internet café. We then picked up our bags at the hostel and caught a taxi to the bus station right as a torrential downpour started. By nine we were on the bus and off to San Cristobal. Nearly everyone on the bus were backpackers just like us which was a new experience. Before long the windy road put us to sleep and so ended my 29th b-day.
