Oaxaca and Chiapas
Richard and I at Monte Alban ruins
First stop was our hotel, Casa Arnel - it is a very charming hotel, as you can see from the following photos:
After having dinner at a local restaurant, we walked through the park and stopped at the fountain.
Lavish artwork on a building across from the hotel.
Yikes!
There is a cathedral on every block in Oaxaca City:
Colorful carvings adorn the streets - this one is a dragon:
Michael and Richard at the entrance to Monte Alban (ruins and museum):
More of Monte Alban:
I liked this statue at the Monte Alban museum - a lady inside a jaguar mask:
I call this photo the jaguar lady and the jaguar lady - ha!
Our guide, Michael, and Richard at the restaurant at Monte Alban. This terrace has a gorgeous view of the valley!

Market in Oaxaca City, with lots of chile peppers and chopped up grasshoppers:
A village in the Sierra Miahuatlan mountains, a destination that is about 4 hours from Oaxaca City, and the area where we saw Red Warblers:
"El Mirador" comedor, where we stopped for lunch in the Sierra Miahuatlan mountains:
Michael and Karen at the weaver's house in Teotitlan:

Restaurant Tlamanalli, where we had lunch in Teotitlan:
Starters - guacamole, baked blue corn chips, and mezcal:
Inside Restaurant Tlamanalli:
My lunch was chicken with black mole, beans, and rice - yum!
More scenes from Teotitlan, the weaver's village:
Mr. Nelson Perez Mendoza, the weaver of the rug we bought:
Mitla Ruins, famous for intricate facades:
A cathedral is built on top of the Mitla ruins:
More colorful wood carvings:
Los Pacos restaurant in Oaxaca City:
Seven moles at Los Pacos - we tried each one first with corn chips and tortillas, and then chose which ones we wanted for dinner:
My dinner was 4 kinds of mole (black, colorado, yellow, and estofada) with rice and pork:
Mezcal tasting (me and Michael) - a new favorite drink!
