Overall our Mexico Adventure is broken up into two parts, a 3 1/2 stay in Oaxaca City and a one week stay in Puerta Vallarta for my sister's wedding. We chose mountain city of Oaxaca because it is a wonderful hub of traditional Mexican Culture. The whole family is taking 3 hours of Spanish classes 5 days a week at a school called Becari. It's awesome, but we move through the lessons very quickly and this much time and effort has been exhausting. We're loving the classes but looking forward to our one week of actual vacation in Puerta Vallarta.
Oaxaca has tons of rich history, a wonderful culture, and is world-renowned as place to eat some incredible Mexican cuisine! I haven't stepped on a scale but I am sure I am gaining weight with each and every passing day. Tomorrow is the weekend and we're going on our first outing outside of the city. It should be fantastic.
I plan on posting some short topical posts about our experiences with things like making friends with local Mexican kids, what its like to eat grasshoppers, our experiences out in the market, and much more. Either that or this will be my last post; who knows?
