Christmas in Oaxaca and well-wishes!

We are off to Mexico City this Saturday for a couple of days 

and then flying to Oaxaca, Oaxaca with some friends of Reed's from Seattle.  Oaxaca is supposed to be one of the prettiest places to spend Christmas.  Here is a little blurb that I found about it:

"Oaxaca, the State Capital, declared Humanity’s Cultural Patrimony by UNESCO, owes its fame to the beauty and harmony of its architecture, the richness of its cultural traditions, the wide variety of its typical foods, and its soft temperate climate, spring-like throughout the year."

Actually, the REAL reason we are going is for the Noche de Rabanos (Night of the Radish) December 23rd (Zócalo, City of Oaxaca) where: "ingeniously crafted images made out of radishes (cultivated in the region) are exhibited. It originally took place in the Trinidad de las Huertas neighborhood, and now comes from San Antonino Castillo Velasco and other communities."

Of course my next blog will be about our adventures in Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico!

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and (if I don't write before..) a very safe, warm and Happy New Year!
