B, C & D looking for A
So Oaxaca was pretty cool, old colonial town with tons of churches but nothing much to do on Sunday or Monday nights. One of the problems with covering so much ground on a schedule is that you can´t pick and choose the days you´re in any given place. Luckily this upcoming weekend we plan on being in Morelia meeting up with some friends of our Peace Corps buddy Mitch, so that should be pretty cool. After Oaxaca we had a big driving day up towards Puebla. Our car almost overheated again so we convinced Brendan it was a good idea to jump a barbed wire fence and steal some water from a local farmers pump so we could fill up our radiator. It was pretty funny and we got it on video. Puebla turned out to be much bigger and cooler than Oaxaca. Their central park is gorgeous and there are tons of outdoor cafes, bars and restaurants not to mention tattooed, heavyset women. We were there for two nights and set out for a day trip to Teotihaucan, a nearby Aztec ruins said to have the biggest pyramids in the americas. They´re pretty friggin´ huge, but easily scalable in under five minutes (Brendan and Colin had a stupid side bet, Colin won handily so he took this opportunity to slip it into the blog entry he is currently writing). Right now we´re in Taxco (pronounced Tasco), a town a little south of Mexico City thats the main supplier of Mexico´s silver. We just got in a few hours ago so we´ll let you know how it is when we get the chance. Unfortunately, having temporarily (quite possibly permanently) misplaced our camera cable the blog and its followers are going to have to make due for a while with just its written word, we´re trying to think around the problem right now so they´ll be there as soon as they can.
