Eric & Janina in Latin America

I spent a few hours yesterday going through the extensive collection of the National Museum of Anthropology, which houses artifacts and information about Mexico's indigenous peoples organized into different regions. Incredibly informative with some truly beautiful works of art. Click through to see the link.

I took a walk down Avenida Paseo de la Reforma yesterday from where I'm staying in the Polanco neighborhood to the center of Mexico City, eventually ending up at the city's cathedral before walking back. Naturally, I took a few photos along the way. Click through to see the link.

Today was my last day in Oaxaca before I flew back to Mexico City to start the next part of my trip. I took a few photos last night and this morning that I've added to the Oaxaca City album. Click through to see the link.

 I've added more photos to my album of Oaxaca City. Click through for a link to the photo album.

Yesterday, I took a day-long tour to see the Tree of Tule (a 2,000-year-old tree the world's widest trunk at 190 feet/58 meters), a traditional rug-maker's workshop in Teotitlán de Valle, the archaeological site of Mitla, and the calcified waterfalls of Hierve El Agua ("the water boils," in Spanish).

Yesterday, I spent a few delightful hours in the Museums of Cultures of Oaxaca, Santo Domingo, a museum in a former convent attached to the Temple of Santo Domingo of Guzmán in Oaxaca. Click through for a link to the photo album.

Yesterday, I took a day trip from Oaxaca to visit the Pre-Columbian archaeological site of Monte Albán. Click through for a link to the photo album.
