Oaxaca The Culture Center of Mexico

 

The cultural center of Mexico….Oaxaca.. a vibrant urban city.  Nine days of tranquility and beauty. The temperatures were in the low 80s.  The comida was off the charts! I loved the duck and mole. 

The people were incredibly kind and warm. Los Golondrinas hotel was a garden paradise.
