Puebla to Oaxaca

Today we took the bus from Puebla to Oaxaca, 5 hours,, We will be spending the next 5 nights here in Oaxaca.

The first part of the drive after you got out of Puebla was in farming country. Then we went thru the mountains which was spectacular with constants change of vegetation.

Got to our Airbnb around 6 and then went for a walk around town.

Took our dirty laundry to get cleaned down the street as we did not have a laundry at our last place and not here either. 3Kg for $6 Canadian and it will be ready Monday afternoon

Lots of people as it is Saturday night, yesterday was payday and Valentine day.

Found a great Mexican restaurants that has been open since 1940. Delicious supper.
