Today we walked, and walked and walked! We found a little breakfast place where I ordered a Oaxaca specialty breakfast. It was nice but I would not order it again. Probably my fault but when she asked me how I liked my eggs, soft, medium or hard, I must have ordered them hard, just like I do not like them. The rest of the plate, tortillas and Oaxaca cheese was rather flavorless. Like I say, I would not order it again. Norma’s hotcakes with honey and jam were delicious and since her limit is one, I had the other two.
We continued walking and came upon a very pleasant young man running an Internet café. He also sold his families coffee of which he offered us a sample cup. It was very good and we bought a kilo for 150 pesos. By then it was 2:00, time to head back to the apartment and rest up for dinner. We both fell asleep and by the time we woke up we decided to just make a big salad and stay home. Tomorrow is another day. Here are some photos from today, starting with breakfast.
The buildings remind me a lot of Merida.

There are similarities Hugh. Merida is a much richer city but the aboriginal cultures have survived a little better in Oaxaca.
DeleteNice photo tour Croft.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that having eggs cooked the way one wants is getting more difficult to find out there.
Mexicans are usually very good with eggs, this was a language problem.
DeleteA nice tour today great pictures.
