Good-bye Oaxaca! I have been in Oaxaca for the past 5 weeks learning Spanish. David arrived last week and we have had fun exploring the city and surrounding sights together. It has been nice to have some time off the bike, but its time to get back on the road. Tomorrow we will start cycling towards the Oaxacan coast to the little town of Puerto Angel. Its only 250kms from Oaxaca to Puerto Angel, but apparently it takes 6 hours by car to get there … so we are expecting hills! Wish us luck!
