The shuttle got us into San Cristobal de las Casas around 5pmish and we sussed out a hotel before heading out for food and drink. Had a great torta cubana and then went out for just.one.drink as typical with Alby and I. Since we were the only people at the bar (twas like a Tuesday night) we sat at the bar and chatted up the bartender for the night. He's a "tequilero" as they say, aka a tequila lover, so he taught us all about different tequilas and mezcals. Even showed us how they drink theirs, with a sip and then a sip of water or sangrita, which is kinda like a tomatoey/woerstchire/barbecuey marinade. As the only customers, we ended up trying quit a few tequilas and got home a bit sloppy.
San Cristobal is like a fancy Antigua pero without the gross amounts of white tourists...yes, it's touristy, but mostly from south america or europe. So we took a night bus the following day to Oaxaca. Sleeping pills gave us a bit of rest but sleeping on a moving bus/plane/watev is never very comfortable. Got into Oaxaca in the morning and started putzing around town. Honestly our experience revolved around the food and food markets there. Had mole obvi, chilaquiles, etc. Then we found a hallway off the main food market that was just meat. All meat. And grills. Meat and grills. Nough said.
After a couple days gorging in Oaxaca we took a bus to Puerto Escondido. Really nice beaches with great surf but too touristy for my liking. Passed a couple days eating and lounging around the beaches before we hopped on a bus down to Mazunte. Isolated, really tranquil spot. Alby and I are sharing a crackden shack overlooking the ocean. Lots of naughty time seafood for cheap. Though in my opinion there's way too many hippies here. Like naked yoga, family with two dads and a mom, more necklaces than all of the Claire's in the world, etc. Going on a snorkeling/fishing trip tomorrow so hopefully that's fun. Hopefully we have time to visit some of the other beaches as well.
Then flying to Mexico City to meet up with Coreen and watch some lucha libre. hasta prontito cabrones.
