Oaxaca

Saturday 2 November 2013
Headed to Oaxaca.  Followed Lolita and Jose.  Two hours but it was a good drive.  We probably would have gotten lost in Oaxaca but nice to be able to follow.  Went into the old town in the afternoon.  Absolutely beautiful.  

Met Jose’s brother and sister-in-law and the adorable baby.  Then went to dinner with Jose and Lolita right in the middle of town in a restaurant that had a balcony overlooking the town square.  We could see the celebrations for Day of the Dead. They had bands and parades and dancing down the street.  The community vibe kind of reminded us of Fasnacht in Switzerland, except this was hot and Mexican.  It was really cool.
