Marathon Shopping





The villages surrounding Ciudad Oaxaca are known for their handicrafts and their weekly market days (tianguis), which are staggered seamlessly throughout the week to make shopping more convenient for tourists and more profitable for vendors. This results in non-stop shopping opportunities seven days a week! Let it be known that the STAR shopper in THIS family is LARRY! AS IF we didn’t strengthen the local economy and gather goods to an acceptable level in the FIRST round of financial blood-letting, Larry’s enthusiasm for shopping was unchecked as a second look at the mercados loomed in the coming week.

We have taken some time to relax and enjoy this beautiful city and plan to return in the future for less shopping and more people watching in the village squares!
