We arrived in Oaxaca last night, Friday, July 10, and were picked up at the airport by Sylvia, and brought back to her lovely home to meet her husband, Juan Sanchez and their 19 year old son, Rodrigo. Juan Sanchez and Sylvia have 6 sons, but only the youngest, Rodrigo lives at home. We were shown to our rooms, two private rooms, outside of the main house-- very nice, comfortable and somewhat private from the rest of the house, where we can come and go without disturbing the family, but close enough to be part of the family. Sylvia made us a delicious breakfast with REAL coffee, starting with a fresh plate of perfect fruit, followed by eggs and salsa verde and black beans-- YUM! We spent the rest of our day walking around the town, getting to know the area, finding our school, and having a cappuccino in the lovely zocolo. We came home at 3pm for la comida-- Sylvia is a great cook; she prepared a delicious salad of greens, goat cheese and pecans, along with a roasted chicken in salsa rojo. We're looking forward to school starting on Monday and exploring more tomorrow.

Good morning, glad you have such a nice home to stay in. You starved me with the description of your breakfast. Mom
WOW, Pam! I can understand why you visit these fabulous places every summer. I throughly enjoy living vicariously in Mexico through your blog. Now if you could only pass along your early advanced spanish placement, I would be fixed for Lomita Park next year!
Evan's pictures of Hailey and Logan are priceless. What beautiful children...I can't wait to see what their "cousins" will look like!
Enjoy your last week with Robert...I'm sure he will love it!
Love,
Lynne
