The trip back
Today we woke up and went to a mezcal (an alcohol only for grown-ups) factory. First they cut up the piña ( the fruit of an agave plant)then cook it for five days. Then they put it in a giant bucket and crushed it using a horse pulling a wheel. After that they ferment it. Then they boil it and cool it very fast. After we went to the factory we went to a weaving village and had lunch with some friends. Then went swimming. The next morning we woke up and flew to Houston on a Q-400.

The third of Oaxaca
Today is our third day in Oaxaca. We got up and ate breakfast while watching a movie. Then a taxi driver named Lupe picked us up and drove us to Institute Coubertin. After that we drove to a market. The market was called Etla. There was clothes and food. Then we drove to a Chinese restaurant to have lunch. Then we went to see a paper manufacturer, it was really interesting, they took cotton and made it into pulp, then they made it into squares and dried it and there's paper. After that we came home and went swimming.

Today we started our adventure in Oaxaca. We had a relaxing morning and I got to jump in the pool. At about 11:00, we went downtown and had a delicious lunch at La biznaga. Then we walked down to Cathedral de nuestra señora de la asuncion. The cathedral, originally erected in 1553, had to be extensively rebuilt in 1730 after a series of earthquakes and fires, which explains its solid walls and asymmetrical towers.
Then we drove down to the horse barn where I will be taking horseback riding lessons tomorrow.
