Bienvenidos a Oaxaca

During long travel days, my enthusiasm for arriving in a new city decreases with every hour. However, after arriving safely in Oaxaca and immediately plopping down for a nice long nap, I woke up this morning to discover that this lovely place is my new home.




Although the weather here is stormy today, I did get in a nice walk around the city. It's 17 blocks from my apartment to the Institute, but there are at least ten different ways to get there and most of them involve passing through the Zocalo. Since most of my classes won't start until 2 PM, it will be great motivation to make my way to school trying out different restaurants and cafes en route.


One of my fellow students will be standing on a corner of the Zocalo this evening in the hopes that some of us will come out and join him for a beer. I think I'm going to like it here!
