| milla05's Full Review: Oaxaca |
I actually got the chance to live in Oaxaca with Amigos De Las Americas last summer and loved it! I lived in a small village called San Pedro Martir. Unknown to the rest of the world! I got to see life through people way different from how we live here. I'll never forget them.
The weather in the summer was nice and hot, but then it would rain hard for a couple days straight. The mountain views are so amazing. They look so huge and positively full of life. The ruins of the Zapotecs are awesome. I got to go to Monte Alban and Mitla. They are amazingly built and a sight to see.
Oaxaca City is also awesome. There is a place called the Zoccalo, where the cafes and restaurants are. It is similar to a romantic spot you may find in Europe. This is also where all the parades and events of the city occur. There are so many awesome gifts that sell at a reasonable price like silver, pottery, handmade clothes and more. Oaxaca is known for their wooden painted animal sculptures. They are so cool and full of color.
