Cronicas amexicanas: Mexiparadise in Oaxaca

Why didn't anybody tell me earlier? Paradise exists and it is in Mexico...



I arrived in Oaxaca yesterday by a bus from Mexico and it was an immediate enchantment. The city is the capital of the Southern Mexican State of Oaxaca, full of traditions and indigenious culture, built up in a whirl of colours, lights and charms, fulfilled with the activities and music that make you feel over the moon... 

After a two hour walk, I was ready to taste what is supposed to be the best food in Mexico when I met a very nice man from the region in front of the sublime public library, who happens to speak French... Law student, specialising on Mexican migrants in the US, he had just come back from Milwaukee. He took me to a local restaurant for dinner and only ordered a warm chocolate while I was devouring my mole negro con pollo... We chatted for an hour before I head back on the shining night streets towards la Basilica de la Soledad, near where I am staying...
