This blog post will be a three installment post.
Our camera was stolen on our second day in Oaxaca
so we lost a lot of pictures. The pictures we have of Oaxaca
were taken with our wide angle video camera and the ipad.
We will update when we get some pictures from Claudette.
We bought an Android phone and were
able to use that for Mexico City and Taxco.
Oaxaca City:
We met Tom and Claudette here.

Two days in the Oaxacan Valley:
The first day we went on our own by bus and
collectivo taxi to Teotitlán......where most of
the well known Oaxacan rug weavers are. We
bought one rug, but decided we wanted to go back
again (with more money:). On the way back,
on a standing room only bus, my purse was slashed
and my phone was stolen. Nothing else
was missing and I was totally unaware that
it happened until I was able to sit down and saw my purse.
The next day we hired a van to take us back out
to the Valley:
El Tule: named after a giant Tule tree
Hierve El Agua:

| Mineral springs, a mineral waterfall, a great view.......... and LOTS of people |
Mitla:
The main religious center of the Zapotec culture
and it's style is unique.
From Mitla we went back to Teotitlán to do more
rug shopping. We bought a few rugs from the people
who created them and Claudette took photos, but
we don't have them yet......
that will be another installment:)
From Oaxaca Tom and Claudette flew to La Paz to
join friends on Running Horse for a couple of weeks
and we headed to Mexico City.
