Oaxaca

I arrived in Oaxaca on Saturday at 4:30 am after accidentally taking a second class (rather than first class) overnight bus. Half of the trip I was stuck next to a very large man who sprawled into my space every few minutes. I used sleep as an excuse to shove him away whenever possible, but it wasn't very pleasant. Around 1am I awoke to see that he had traded with his daughter, who was a much more pleasant, and compact, seat companion. But at that point I was rolled in a ball in my sweatshirt, with my sleeveless arms crossed tightly at my chest, the tip of my nose cold because they didn't put on any heat.

It was great to arrive to a warm bed, but my internal alarm clock didn't let me sleep too late. I played with the kids and the new kitten all day, and on Sunday we ventured into the mountains with Nina's cousin's family and checked out a very cool cave.

Yesterday I was as lazy as possible, trying to read as much as I could, drew/painted a bit, listened to music and lay in the sun. My body seems to be on shut-down mode, getting used to truly having nothing to do and nowhere to be, and I've been taking naps every day.
Today is moving day though, so there is a bit to do, and I will go back to doing it now.
Love and smiles!
