Real Danger?
How about a damn earthquake. I am not freaking out. I know you will post something and/or call everyone you know as soon as you can. You 2 sure do live on the edge.

Dental problems
Hi Lynn, So sorry to hear about your dental problems on this trip. I broke one of my lower teeth on a Sunday morning in Vancouver; luckily I was able to get to my dentist Monday morning but must be bad having both sides of your mouth hampered. The eco tour sounds fascinating; looking forward to hearing about the natural spa experience. Hi to Bill! Diane

Times and Tides
Ah yes, the teachers strike demonstrations. We remember them well! Plus ca change...... Our friends, the Oaxacan restauranteurs who moved to Austin left Oaxaca after the governor of the state used his militia to attack the demonstrators in '07 ('06?). They were sick of the whole thing...of losing customers and their daughters losing school time. We rented a little house down the street from Santo Domingo on Constitution between Reforma and Juarez. We were actually there for both the Easter rehearsals and the Easter Parade. Martin says it was one of the scariest things he ever saw. The Penitents wore purple hoods and it looked like a resurrection of the Ku Klux Clan. Beware the very strong undertows on the beach at Puerto Escondido. We're off to Chicago for three days tomorrow. More later. Carol and Martin

Very surprised at the size of the flat mountain top ruins. All scenes making me homesick for Mexico.

Ruins
Will you see the famous ruins at Mitla? A lesser known ruin is Yagul on the way to Mitla. We liked it because it is on a beautiful site, smaller and manageable and more remote. It doesn't have peddlers and hucksters promoting themselves...less circus atmosphere...you can actually imagine the past. But again, this was in 2004. Good luck with your tooth pain!!! Hope you feel better.

language school
I attended Spanish classes in '98 at a school on Alcalá. You had to walk through a restaurant and then across a patio to reach the entrance. It was run by a woman named Yvonne. Is it the same one as yours? Qué aprendas mucho! Carol Love your photos!

Oaxaca
We love Oaxaca and have spent a lot of time there; 3 months in 1998 with returns in 2000 and 2004. What hotel are you staying at and where are you taking classes? How long will you be there? How jealous we are! Carol and Martin

Trip
Love the pics but poor Bill on the 1st stretch, under the car in cold slush! BAD! You were lucky to get thru w/ no more major problems. The hikes look great , but I am reminded of that TV show. 'I shouldn't be Alive'.....People venturing out and getting lost or worse. However, no one in 'hiking dresses' ever gets lost so what AM I think'n>??? It has been brutal here! Nasty wild winds that sound like giants outside hitting the house. Was relieved to see no damage in the AM. It's darn cold too. The perfect time to leave for warmer climes and I assume T. Giving is especially nice w/ Walter and Cindy. Really nice desert style home! Pls. say 'HI' for me. Keep sending! Linda

Thanks Again!
Thank you again for taking us on your journey with you! I visited Japan way back in 1979/1980 for the new year holiday - stayed with the family of my college girlfriend (Japanese) in Yokohama. Wish I could go back! It does not look like all that much has changed except perhaps the air quality is better. It was very smoggy back then and we never were able to see any "vistas". Such a beautiful country and people!

General Blog Comments
I love the graceful Japanese architecture of the castles, temples, retreats, etc. I've never seen "egg salad sandwich" on the menu of any Japanese eatery that we've visited. Martin had a friend years ago that joined a team of anthropologists doing research in a Peruvian village in the Andes. The method of relieving oneself was to squat at the edge of a cliff. This caused a Constipation Epidemic among the team. I think your "bad toilet" would provoke the same in me. We never got out this Fall for a color show drive. Thanks for taking us along on yours...although the steepness left us breathless. Carol

mexican dental vacations
Hi Lynn! Sorry 'bout your tooth - but I have been researching dental services in Mexico (because I cannot afford them here) and there are places where you can go that are advertised as "Mexican Dental Vacations" ! http://www.mexicandentalvacation.com/ It is worth checking out - I think one company the staff and dentist is actually from Seattle. Hope you feel better!
