We made it!

We made it safe and sound, after three very long flights. I (Jennifer) was able to only sleep about 40 minutes last night, but most everybody else was able to sleep a bit longer. If this blog seems a bit disjointed, it´s because I am trying to type while learning a new keyboard (Spanish keyboards are different...who knew?) as well as stay awake! I might just give you the highlights, and a few pictures.
Andrew kept us entertained while we waited for our flight to Texas.

Our flight left PDX last night around 11:50pm. We all agreed that it was one of the most uncomfortable flights we have all been on, along with some of the rudest stewardess! The next flight made up for it, however, with one of the nicest stewardess we have had. That flight was from Huston to Mexico City, and we arrived in Mexico City around 10:45 (8:45 Albany time). By the time we got to Oaxaca, it was 2:45 and we were ready to land. Kelli´s bag never showed up, and we figured it is off gallivanting around Mexico. We have been assured that an alert has been put out for it, and we will be notified ASAP when it comes in. For Kelli´s sake, I hope that it is soon! This is in the courtyard of our hotel.

We settled in, and then took a walk around town to gather our wits and get some money and water. We ended up eating dinner in the town square, I can´t remember what it is called right now. I´ll fill you in later when I can think again. Our dinners were fabulous, and cheep! We are all going to turn in early tonight, because we have a long day tomorrow. We are going on a four hour tour of Mitla (a smaller ruin), Teotilan (carpet weaving), and Tule (the biggest tree in the world). I am very excited! You can be assured that you will be seeing pictures from that!


Dinner! Finally!!!
