Images from Oaxaca City, Mexico

























From top to bottom:

The Institute of Graphic Arts courtyard;

The Institute of Graphic Arts (which has an excellent library on anything to do with drawing!!);

La Casa de La Tia hotel where we stayed (our room was upstairs, we had the nice balcony to lounge on), and last but not least, at the very bottom is a photo of the Flor de Loto vegetarian friendly restaurant where we spent a lot of time when we were in Oaxaca.

We also discovered a wonderful little restaurant just before we left Oaxaca called Tumateca (which I don't have a photo of). It's run by a couple of cool wonder chefs from Italy, Helena & Fabrizio. They moved to Mexico three years ago and ran a bakery in Oaxaca before they opened their restaurant. They made us the best meal we had in Mexico. Everything was freshly made by them as we waited. We ate like pigs. Helena also gave Paul a free shot of Mezcal (a brown tequila) out of her own personal stash and talked to us about the problems Oaxaca has been facing recently. If you ever visit Oaxaca, pop in and say hi and treat yourself to a wonderful meal. They're on Avenida Morelos.

Sorry about any weird formatting you might find, I've tried to fix it but blogger doesn't always cooperate, or perhaps it's my crap knowledge of HTML. Please do scroll down the page for lots more photos from Mexico.
