Kit and Carol on the Road

Two hours before we left for the airport, I received an e-mail that our B and B was still under constrution. Some work was supposed to be finished but was not. So they found us a new hotel next door. It has big rooms, a kitchen, a fine pool, but noisy at night We arrived in Oaxaca an hour late (after sitting on the runway in Houston) but Kirsten was there to meet us with her host mom Silvia.

Like Paris, much of Oaxcaca is under restoration. The zocalo or town square is a total mess. It is the center of some major protest as some trees are being destroyed in the process. My spelling is not good--the keyboard is totally wierd, like Europe. It is raining and we are hiding out. Thunderstorm afternoon.

This morning we were at the ruins of Monte Alban. Awesome. No plans yet for tomorrow. Yesterday we walked around town and oohed at the buildings. The center of the city is clean (but there is lots of grafiti) and the buildings are wonderful colors. I have lots of photos which I´ll post when we get home.

Last night we had dinner at the home where Kirsten lived in 99. Tonight we will go out to hear the musica. Have a village tour scheduled for Saturday but two days still unplann3ed.
Hasta luega.
