parador don agave - mezcal tasting

May 26th 2016
HE SAID... Tonight we were leaving Oaxaca City and heading south to Mazunte on the Pacific Coast.

This blog documents the feeding of our travel addiction - one country at a time. Travel is an essential part of our life, and we'll continue to travel until our addiction wanes (which probably won't be in this lifetime)!
