I am reluctantly leaving Oaxaca tonight at 8 PM, heading to San Cristobal de las Casas, in Chiapas, where I'll arrive at 7 Monday morning.
This city seems to do everything right, with lots of streets reserved for pedestrians, many parks filled with kids and families, seemingly constant music and dance performances, plays, and movies. Walls are plastered with posters advertising all sorts of events.
The food is excellent, whether in inexpensive comedores frequented by locals and knowledgeable travelers or pricey, elegant restaurants for tour groups and other tourists.
Many Spanish colonial style buildings have been converted into luxury hotels and restaurants and a sizable number of USA ex-pats take up residence, either in winter or all year.
The climate remains pretty much the same throughout the year, warmth without humidity during the day and cool at night.
I'll write more about Oaxaca. There's so much to say.
