We have arrived!

After a sleepless night waiting to leave for the airport, we drove to BWI and got on a plane to Houston and then ran from one end of the airport to another to make our connecting flight to Oaxaca. The minute we got off the plane I knew that it is going to be a wonderful vacation...the sun was shining, there were palm trees and beautiful exotic flowers, and mountains in the background. I can already see God's provision and grace...our hotel, which we booked over the internet, turned out to be a lovely bed and breakfast close to the historic center of the city. We were able to find a good travel agency and got a flight to the beach (Puerto Escondido) and a hotel room there right on the coast. At another place, we arranged for a hiking exursion in the mountaineous indigenous villages that we are taking tomorrow. After eating a delicious Italian dinner and walking around the city a bit, we are off to rest and get some sleep before tomorrow's adventures.
