Oaxaca

Oaxaca is beautiful and sunny and the people are so nice! I have taken some time to sit and enjoy the warm sun the past couple of days. All too soon I will be back in cold, wintry Brooklyn.

Our hotel is near the church of Santo Domingo. It is a lovely old church and the young couples seem to love using it as a make-out spot at night.









We went to a couple of museums today and saw some beautiful old jewelry, textiles and clothing. This is my favorite outfit, by far!





The top is beaded and the skirt is covered in sequins!!! The museum shop even had a couple of old skirts like this, but the guy was really sketchy about only accepting cash, so I tearfully said goodbye.

A lunch today a waiter complimented me on my Spanish! While it was very nice to hear all it means is that I say a few words well. It does motivate me to really learn, so that next time I can respond with more than one or two words!
