Ok.. have to write a lot again. But actually thats a good sign. If i dont write a lot that means im meeting a lot of people here and i just dont find the time to write.
Arrived In Oaxaca at seven in the morning. After a nap i discovered the town a bit. Mhmmm its wasnt like Chiapa de corzu or san christobal. I didnt fell in love with it :-) U have a really nice park here in the middle of the town where there is a lot to do, and then u have some beautifull churches. But next to that i dont really like it. Its big, busy and a bit dirty. it suprised me, because people i met were always talking about Oaxaca in superlatives. At night i went to have dinner with three girls i met in the hostel. Susanah and Inta from Denmark and Katty form Germany.
Yesterday i did an excursion. We started with Tula, that a cute village where there is a really old tree (2000years old). Not the oldest in the world dough, there are threes of 3500 and 4000years too. (i know, guidetalk..). Then we went to see how they make the traditonal carpets. That was really interesting. And everything was explaned in English and Spanish. The guide kept making fun of me since i was the only one that didnt understand spanish. In the beginning he was like, ohh no espangol?? Well teach u today. And then with everything he said he was like, ok sarah how much procent did u understand?
After that we went to Mitla, which are ruines of an Aztek village. I really enjoyed that since it was with a guide. I visited Tulum and Palenque without a guide, which is way cheaper but it is nicer with a guide. But now i changed one of my books for one about mexico, so i can just read the information. Then it was time for lunch. Probably one of my favorit moments. Noo not because we can eat :-) (well yeah, everyone knows i love eating, so maybe a bit for that aswell...). But when it was time for lunch i allready met most of the people in the bus, and everyone was getting along. So at lunch everyone sat toghether and was talking. There were people from Germany, Argetinie, France, Mexico, Italy and Yeahhh Canada!! So put that toghether and u have some really interesting conversations. I especially got along with a nice couple from Canada, Nick and Yvonne. She is Mexican, they met each other in Mexico and now there living in Canada. Its weird because he was 42, she was 35 and still we bonded immediately. After lunch we visited Hierve el aqua and a Mezkal Factory. Mezkal is a typical Oaxaca drink and its almost the same as tequila. But its like champagne, only the drink produced in champagne can call itsself champagne. So only the drink in tequila can be called tequila and only the drink in oaxaca can be called mezkal. We tried some different kinds, but i didnt really like it. In the bus back, the canadian couple asked me if i wanted to join them for dinner. We went to a really nice restaurant. It looked like really expensive, and the menu was a lot different that what u normally get in the restaurants here. It was a bit more expensive than what u normally pay here, but it was so wurt it. And in the end, if u change it to euro... U had lamb chops for 12euro and tunafilet for 7euro. And the quality was like the better restaurants in belgium. Plus It was the first restaurant ive been were they had decent wine. So it was a good night :-) And now i have a place to stay in Toronto ive i ever go there.
Today im going to Monte Elban, which are also ruines and tonight im taking the bus to Puebla.
Ok i think that was it :-)
