Adiós Oaxaca

Zocalo at dusk

Last day in Oaxaca :(
I'm too exhausted to write a lot, but I will say that this was probably my favorite day. Today, Charlotte and I went back to the Juarez Market. We separated and I was on my own for about 3 hours. I got to really explore the market. Bought a few more things (surprise, surprise)...

I was proud of myself and the amount of Spanish I have picked up. I got along quite well on my own.

I left the market and still had an hour to kill before meeting up with the others so I stopped at a cafe in the zocalo for some tacos and beer. The tacos were more like enchiladas in the US, rolled up ans served with sauce. They were yummy! I sat for a while and watched people go by. I ended up having a nice conversation with a Canadian woman seated next to me.

We then went to dinner down the street. I got to finally sample Oaxacan hot chocolate. After dinner, we hung out at the zocalo for a bit. We ended the night at The Italian Coffee Company. I traveled to Mexico, thousands of miles from my home in Little Italy, to have Italian coffee ;)

I'm so exhausted, I'm delerious. I am glad to be going home tomorrow. I hope to come back to Oaxaca soon.

I'm glad you enjoyed Oaxaca. I especially liked my day out with you and Charlotte. I hadn't had "girl time" for a while. Altho I enjoy being with Steve, I'm always rushing through shopping when I'm with him.

RE your marketplace experience: when I'm on my own in the market or just in a strange town I feel like the world is my oyster.

Peace,

Kathy
