The First Day in Pictures

A breakfast of chilaquiles (tortillas, sauce and cheese) at Cafe Alex

Will approves of the breakfast!

Sampling Oaxacan gelatin as we tour the streets with our guide, Eugene.

In the Mercado with Eugene, a pit stop for drinks...we tried the 'tuna' flavor...prickly pear cactus, not the fish
Chapulines, chili flavored grasshoppers, for everyone

Mayadormo- Oaxaca's version of the Wonka Factory

Mike, Brandonlee and Emily in front of the chocolate grinders


Lunch in the Zocolo

Finally....Casa Hogar!!

Destiny has already found a friend

Kate is having way too much fun

Brandonlee is also helping our our non-human friends

Tomorrow's Agenda:  Breakfast at Cafe Alex, move luggage to homestays, the ruins and market at Mitla, the State Cultural Museum & making a traditional dinner at the host family organizer, Socoro's house.

  6. Okay, sent that first comment to see what time it would be posted so I know for sure there is a 3 hour time difference from CT. Just like San Diego, eh Mr. Werner?! :)
    I am so excited for all of you because you are going to learn so much and have such an amazing time!

  7. So glad you arrived safely! I'd be interested to hear from the students: What are your favorite new Spanish words you've learned? Particularly those of you who don't study Spanish at Wat--what have you learned? Enjoy your stay--I am jealous!
