We started this blog when we left for Guadalajara in late 2006. It feels like a lifetime ago. Well, really it was. Since then we survived a kitchen remodel, pregnancy, birth (and beyond) and now we have a son who runs our lives and we couldn't be happier (well, most of the time that is). This blog is all about him. Since all our family is far away we hope you check in now and then to stay updated on the life and times of El Chiquitito.

Milta - ruins
Milta - As explained to us it is was an important religious center for the Zapotecs (for which there is still an active community in Oaxaca). The ruins are located smack in the middle of a small city. It was fun to walk around and explore the site. There were many small passage ways (at least small for us) where Daniel and I were on our hands and knees to get through a door way. These ruins were definitely intended for small, petite, size 2, no taller than 5'2 people. At least this was the case for where the excavated tombs were located.
After we checked out the ruins, we were starving. We sat down a taco puesto and had us some tacos with frijoles and avacados. After that, we went to a Mezcal factory where we were able to try many many flavors of mezcal. They had try the drink with slices of organges, chocoloate and worm salt. Interesting and tasty.
Daniel and I bought 3 liters worth with the intention of sharing with Andy, Gwyn and Sarita (at least that is what we told them). :>
