On the Road: The First Two Weeks

New York to Oaxaca was a breeze. Sarah and I managed a little more than 30 minutes of sleep on the 31st and I still had a fairly good amount of alcohol in the blood as we boarded our first flight. For those of you who don´t like flying I can highly recommend our post-Halloween method to you; what you can´t remember can´t hurt you. We spent our first few days here in a daze, none of it seemed very real. Mexico is a world apart and it took a little time to acclimate our ears to the language, our eyes to the intense colors and our minds to the attitude. We pretty quickly settled into a lovely room with a great view of the mountains and our Spanish classes at Amigos Del Sol. The nice temporary housing and the fantastic schooling (seriously, highly recommended) made us feel very at home here. Can you fall in love with a country in only 4 days?
