Our last few nights in Oaxaca were centered around Casa de la Bugambilas a wonderful little bed & breakfast around the corner from the Santo Domingo church. We tried to relax, shop and take in parts of the city we had not seen. Mexico is a contrast: breathtaking at one minute and overwhelming the next. The sites can be glorious - a botanical garden in a 16th century building. Or a site can frighten - the market with all the dead animals. The smells are intoxicating - chocolate, coffee, mole. Or the smells can repulse - the market and the exhaust. I am always impressed by the people though. They are proud to be who they are!
