Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico
Pictures: From Hierve el Agua (mineral spring that formed an unusual 'frozen' waterfall with deposits over centuries)
Good: Hierve el Agua was stunning. Just magnificent. The pictures do not do it justice. Jamie, Maya and I are so glad we invested the time, money, and anxiety to get there. We wished we had longer there. Maybe next time we will try to stay in the 'cabins'.
Bad: It was the 'Indian Jones ' ride on the way there, though without the security of a track. Our driver was quite careful, but the slippery gravel and the quality of the breaks left me nervous. Part way through I hoped that Kalin would know what to do if we never returned.
Surprising: After the springs we were handed over to a different driver in the town of Mitla. i was relieved to see a brand new van, but it turns out that a new van gave us the opportunity to experience "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" on the way home. This driver did not meet a car, truck or motorcycle that he did not want to pass.
Mañana is our last full day here!

Hi Laila and family. I have been catching up on the past month of blog entries. Fun to read your adventures. Darlanne sent me your blog back in April. We are winding down our year long trip in Berlin. We'll be in Berlin until July 25 and then off to visit relatives and travel a bit more. Home to Ventura on August 16. I'm getting excited to go home while at the same time I don't want to say goodbye. I can relate to your Hasta Nunca comments.
Much love.
