Going to Hualtulco meant that we could leave our boat and travel to Oaxaca. Benjamin our friend from Bellingham joined us for his Spring break and enjoyed Puerto Angel and La India, one of the beautiful snorkeling bays of Huatulco (see picture) then he and Erica and traveled to Oaxaca for a few days before he had to return home. After Erica returned,we left for 4 days, with our friends Tom and Ann of Leonidas, to enjoy the quaint colonial city, tourist attractions, Monte Alban and the unique markets. Pictured are bugs (crickets and grasshoppers) that are sold as food, basketry (circled is the one we bought), the ruins of Monte Alban, a typical street in the city, Santo Domingo, an incredible cathedral. We were reminded of the high plains of Colorado when we traveled by bus to the mountainous city of Oaxaca. Mescal is produced here and you can see lots of Agave plants and Mescal production facilities along the road to Oaxaca. The climate is cooler so we had a brief respite from the heat of Huatulco.
