Oaxaca with Donzetta

---

Hello All,

I am back in Tulsa as of the past Friday around midnight. My Friday am flight from Oaxaca was also canceled but United was able to get me a seat Aero-Mexico that departed one hour later than the original flight. I did have to go through Mexico City and I almost missed my connecting flight to Houston because I was mis-directed but luckily I got there just before they gave my seat away! Then I had a 7 hour layover in Houston but thankfully I did arrive home safe and sound.

In this entry I will put in photos from my trip to the coast where I volunteered for E-Costa, an organization that promotes organic products. There I met Lucy, an afro-mexican and I got the opportunity to visit overnight with her and her mother and then go to the beach at Chacagua.
