So our first week in Oaxaca is behind us, which is kind of funny. The first three days seemed to crawl by, and the last 4 have flown by, so it’s difficult to keep track of time with any consistency. Frankly, I’m having a blast here, and I really don’t want to leave.

Last night, Jennifer and I went out to dinner with a couple we met who are here from Australia. Aside from learning that Steve Irwin wasn’t as popular is Australia as one would think, we also learned that the striking teacher’s union was holding a press conference right as we were leaving the restaurant. We were able to record the entire thing, as well as have some one-on-one time with the APPO spokesperson. The big news is that the strike looks like it wil be ending soon.

Anyway, I’ve uploaded a few more photos - this time trying to capture a bit more of what the city feels like rather than the political graffiti and flyers that dart the walls just about everywhere. Tomorrow, we’re off to the ancient indian ruins outside of the city.

As usual, more to come…
