In the city of Oaxaca there is not too much to see, and I decided to leave early, adding a city onto my schedule that I hadn't intended to see originally: Puerto Escondido (literally "Hidden Port")

It was two of my most relaxing days on my trip. I found a little cove that was away from the masses and settled down to read, swim, sun, read, nap, eat, read, swim, and so on. I read Eat, Pray, Love in three days. I had fish tacos for brunch, home-made french fries, and sodas in glass bottles, which is the best way to drink a soda (pop).
