Oaxaca days

We started classes today at our new school. I'm done with mine and Rachel has just begun hers. It never seems that we're able to coordinate our schedules so that we're in class at the same time. But this is my window of time on the laptop(when I can upload pics!) since R needs the laptop to work on her disseration when she's not learning Spanish. I really really liked my class this morning. Just two students, and lots of opportunities to talk. I'm hoping R will like hers as much as I did.

We haven't taken too many pics of Oaxaca so far. The church at the left is one of the many beautiful ones here. And the pic on the right is the Zocalo, a main square, with a bandstand in the middle, where the whole town seems to gather. It's a wonderful space, big and open, with beautiful old trees, cobblestone paths, lights strung out for the upcoming independence day. We love it. There's even a Burger King nearby (yes, I broke down the other night). I wish we had spaces like this in the US. How nice it would be.
