Oaxaca Day Trip

 I went on a tour to the world´s biggest tree, and then we saw how artisan goods were made, were taken to a Mezcal factory to see the process and sample all the flavours, went to petrified waterfalls which were really cool because the sulfur content and limestone deposits in the water are so high, the water solidifies before getting to the bottom.  Finally we went to Mitla, wandered around the market, and the tour group tried to con us into having an expensive buffet dinner by taking us to a restuarant in the middle of fucking nowhere, but Sam and I just wandered along the highway and found a local soccer match going on that we watched while the others ate.  When we got back into the city, a bunch of us went back to the cool tapas bar\microbrewery and had a delicious dinner with some great beers.

The biggest tree in the world.

Demonstration on how they make artisanal goods, from spinning the wool, to dying the fabric, to making the products on the loom.
