Another fun overnight trip from San Cristobal landed me in Oaxaca almost 12 hours later. I couldn’t book a hotel online so my first agenda item was to find a place to stay. After about an hour I was able to find a hostel with my own room. I checked i, showered and headed down to check out the cathedrals in Oaxaca. Passing through the smaller streets I immediately noticed the graffiti art around the neighborhood. It was amazing compared to the tagging back home. The graffiti here actually had depth.

I kept walking the cobblestone streets and eventually found the two biggest cathedrals. One being the Santo Domingo was huge and impressive. I walked further down to the Zocola in search of food. Being in Oaxaca was like being in Mexican food heaven. I was looking for the mole and found it at the Mercado 20. I enjoyed every bit of it. I ate so much I was tired and had to go back to the hotel and take a nap. 3 hours later I was ready for the night life of Oaxaca. All I can say is hang out by the Zocola and you can people watch for hours. No cars, just lots of people. Being that it was the weekend there were kids, bands, families to entertain just about everyone. I decided to sit, eat a Tlayuda and just watch the crowd fluctuate. I walked around the square a bit more and then headed back to the hotel to sleep. Along the way I even stopped to try Chapulines (roasted grasshoppers). That was a trip.
