After three weeks of school, our last week in Oaxaca was a serious change of pace. Once again, our daily routine fell away and we suddenly had the time and opportunity to really explore the sights and do whatever struck…
A few days ago, Dave and I celebrated a different sort of graduation here in Oaxaca. In the last 3 weeks, we have managed to survive (and perhaps even reap some benefits from) 80 hours of Spanish instruction at Becari…
