Oaxaca: MEXICO

Oaxaca is truly a magical place full of culture, delicious food and nice people. I felt like I was staying in a town that was in the city. We saw the ruins at Monte Alban, an ancient tree in Tule and of course watched the World Cup. Unfortunately Colombia disqualified in the octavos, my Colombian friend was, to say the least, a bit upset.

Hey, where's the beef?

Veggies!

More ruins, it really impressed me the skill these people had to make such intricate designs out of a piece of stone.

Sacrificial remnants.

Monte Alban. Credited as being a work of pure genius in city-state constructions.

Una señora making a shirt. She told me it takes her half a year to make the shirt.

Which I bought, however, I don't think it takes half a year to make, I later found out. But still look how little she is, and she made the shirt herself.
