Today we headed south to Oaxaca, the home of the mole sauce. While we started to enjoy the streets of seemingly small Oaxaca (everything seems small after leaving the largest city in the Western Hemisphere) the drive itself stole the show.
We climbed to over 10,000 feet above sea level in mighty Randal stopping at scenic overlooks and deep gullies. It felt as if we could reach up and touch the clouds. Even though lightning struck off in the distance, the weather for the majority of the drive was superb. We hit some pretty frustrating traffic in Puebla, but a certain special broadcast of the pirated radio broadcast "Echo" hosted by Jeremy Vaida pulled us through.
Once we arrived in Oaxaca, quite frankly we were disappointed. All we heard in Mexico City was about the amazing food Oaxaca had to offer. We stopped in a cafe and had lack luster cheesecake and corn bread. We stopped in a taco shop and were disappointed by the offerings. Hopefully we'll have better luck tomorrow. I also hope to squeeze in a home game of the local baseball team, the Oaxaca Warriors. More updates are in store after tomorrow's exploration!
Due to unforeseen altercations with actual pirates, "Echo" has heretofore suspended all radio broadcasts. Nevertheless, you listenership is greatly appreciated. We will continue ordinary programming once "Sandy" has been properly ransomed.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Sandy; it may be awhile until we get together enough pesos to liberate you.
