Its pronounced O-ha-ka

Oaxaca, MEXICO: 19 - 22 Oct. 2009

Myself, Jessica and Ben hit the road south again to the vibrant city of Oaxaca. Its the home of many fun and interesting things, including mezcal (the smoky brother of tequila), El Tule (the widest tree in the world), and Hierve El Agua (mineral formations on cliffs that look like frozen waterfalls).

The best of all though was definitely Monte Alban - the ancient Zapotec capital set on a falltened hilltop with great views of the surrounding valley. Very serene feel to the place.

When protests, road blocks, a motor rally and a night-time religious procession were thrown into the mix, it all made for a great few days.
