Oaxaca, OA

So, because of the mechanical problems to Vandrew, instead of staying in Oaxaca for two nights, we stayed there zero nights.  Carmel really wanted to go to a restaurant that she heard about from Anthony Bourdain , claiming to be the best food in the entire universe, or something like that.  It sounded cool to me, as I enjoy eating food, so we decided that we would spend the night to the east of Oaxaca, after our evening meal.

We wanted to see the city of Oaxaca though, as we'd heard good things about it from other travelers, and would like to see if it's the type of place that we should come back to visit in the future.  As we got to the center of the city, I realized that parking was going to be an issue.  We drove around and around, like one would in any city center, looking for a place that could accommodate the 10ft tall Vandrew.  Eventually, we found a street parking spot, and walked into the city center for an hour or two.

Spicy grasshoppers anyone?

After a couple of hours walking around Oaxaca, we had to hit the road for the restaurant, that was located in a small town to the east of the city.  The restaurant closed as 6pm, so there was not time to lose.

We made it to the restaurant 10 minutes before closing time, but ti was quite a long wait for anyone to seat us, serve us, or bring the bill.  The food was quite good, but I would have to say that Mr. Bourdain and I don't have the same idea of what the best food in Mexico is.

It was a really interesting building though.

After supper, we headed to a petrified waterfall for the night....I didn't even know you could petrify a waterfall...
