My first Mexican pyramids!! Very cool. I stayed in Oaxaca later today so I could see them... which meant I had to drive 6 hours back to Mexico City for the flight home. The flight options in/out of Oaxaca are quite limited but I made do and caught the red-eye back to NYC. A post shared by Amanda (@amandagetslost) on Nov 26, 2017 at 10:18pm PST

I ate a snack here - some tostadas and hot chocolate. Weird fact, Oaxaca is known for its chocolate, but cocoa doesn’t grow here. However, because several trade routes from the south went through Oaxaca, the people learned how to make best chocolate because they had access to all the best stuff. Also, this place is fun because there’s a cool Spanish bookstore attached that had a bunch of independent journals and books by independent researchers.

I love how this city feels! I love that there’s music on every corner. I love that I am never far from delicious Mexican home cooking. I love that it’s warm out and I can walk around in a t-shirt and sandals. I love that there are artists everywhere selling pottery, painted wood sculptures, textiles, rugs, and paintings. I love the desert and I love being near the mountains. A post shared by Amanda (@amandagetslost) on Nov 23, 2017 at 4:26pm PST

Details from the Cathedral. They painted some of the walls in this pattern and I was really drawn to it. A post shared by Amanda (@amandagetslost) on Nov 23, 2017 at 4:20pm PST

Made it to Oaxaca and stopped by the cathedral to take a peak. I will be back later to check the art in more detail. A post shared by Amanda (@amandagetslost) on Nov 23, 2017 at 4:17pm PST
