Oaxaca

We pulled into this little town (San Gabriel Chilac) because we were in need of a bathroom. We didn't find anything very promising, the streets were narrow, the houses very gray and close together. We finally made it to the plaza in front of this church. It was beautiful. School had just ended for the year and apparently each class brings flowers to the church. There were flowers everywhere, huge arrangements.


Pulling into and out of town was memorable though because the overpass that we went on (both ways) was obviously intended for one car. We couldn't see any way to signal that there was a car on it and you could not see the whole thing from one side. We didn't realize it on the way there, on the way back we just drove slowly and hoped for the best. And we did find a bathroom, quite a nice one actually.

N loved his Oaxacan black mole.

I love this picture of us. The slightly artistic nature was unintentional, the cute little woman that Phil asked to take the picture just didn't know how to hold the camera.
