4 de marzo, viernes

Hola!  It’s day two of our Oaxacan adventure, and I am still alive!  Es un miracle!  Today was actually very nice.  Here’s the run down:  Breakfast (scrambled eggs w/ham and chile powder, fruit, tortilla con frijoles, hot dog (sausage) and FRESH SQUEEZED o.j.!!! ) Then we went on a walking tour:  Santo Domingo Cathedral (baroque, biggest in Oaxaca), the cultural museum, the zoocalo, the chocolate factory, el mercado, lunch (on the zoocalo with chicken tacos, beer, coca, and chapulines!!  then shopping, and back to the hotel for a dip.  Finally, organized stuff for the orphans, skyped Ricky (my favorite part of the day) and went to a delish dinner.  I had sangria, wine, insalata mezzaluna, y pizza con agrula, tomate y proscuitto.  Things I bought today (besides the food):  a bark painting for $8, 2 bottles water (1.60 pesos), and 2 boxes of chocolate bar/mixes to take back to the boys (150 pesos).  It has been a busy day and I am tired, so goodnight!
