Oaxaca Trip Table of Contents |

(Post 35 of 193. Thanks again to those who participated in the Fundrazr!)

My trip to Oaxaca couldn’t have gone better or been more wonderful in the current economic and world context. I’m so glad I squeezed it in before everything shut down!

Oaxaca was as fabulous as everyone told me it would be. I’ve got too much “Mexico experience” to see it through the rose-coloured glasses of so many friends who rave about it, but it’s normal to get a bit jaded the longer you are somewhere. I think it’s the difference of looking at a city through the eyes of a tourist versus someone considering residency there.

I identified things that I preferred to Mérida and things that are better in Mérida. I’m finally starting to figure out what’s not working for me in Mérida, what I could fix without leaving, and what are deal breakers that pretty much confirm that I won’t be here long-term. That is way more than I have the energy to go into at this time, but since I owe so many posts, you can be sure I’ll get back to this topic. 🙂

Since the last week was a bombardment of posts, here’s the table of contents for the trip. Remember that if you start at the beginning, you can link on the link at the bottom right of the post to go to the next one.
