Preparations are now in full swing for the coming trip to Oaxaca and points south. We’ll drive out to “the farm” this morning and load the camper back onto the truck bed. Then, it will be a busy few days as we provision up and get set for departure either Friday or Saturday.
The basic itinerary, ALWAYS subject to change, is:
Day One: Mazatlan to Guadalajara/Villa Corona Hot Springs
Day Two: Guadalajara to Patzcuara OR to the Mariposa Monarch Butterfly Reserve
Day Three: Explore Mariposa Reserve
Day Four: San Felipe to Taxco
Day Five: Explore Taxco/shop
Day Six: Taxco to Puebla
Day Seven: Puebla to Oaxaca
We plan a two week stay in Ciudad Oaxaca, to explore the city and the villages and ruins situated in the surrounding Valley of Oaxaca, to shop and to sample foods of the area. Oaxaca is known for its delicious mole (MOH-lay) dishes. We will probably depend on Sly to report on the goodness of the little chapulines (grasshoppers), friend crispy with onions and served with lime juice in tortillas!
Ciudad Oaxaca was designated as a UNESCO world heritage site some years back, due to the history and rich mix of cultures. We’ll be sharing some information about the region, along with our experiences, in coming blog entries which will be made as we are able to connect with the internet …..hopefully, often!
It should be a fun trip! Come on along!
