Brian and I just got back from the most amazing trip to Oaxaca, Mexico with six of our best friends. The purpose of the trip was to celebrate Penny and Mel's 50th birthdays this year. Oaxaca has been on our list of places that would be interesting to visit for awhile. Sharing it with our friends was something special. It isn't necessarily an easy journey getting there. Leif arranged for a car to pick us up at their place, which was such a treat. We met the rest of the "Ocho" at the airport then traveled to Mexico City for our transfer to Oaxaca. What I can only imagine was an apology from Delta for the Porto, Portugal debacle (needing to purchase crazy expensive airline tickets to get home a day later due to food poisoning), Brian and I were upgraded to first class! Three out of the four flights, to be honest. It was almost comical -- except, also very fun. I've been bumped to first class once in my lifetime before this. Never on an international flight. It was dreamy. Mexico City is enormous. Hopefully we'll get to go some day, because I understand it's quite the scene. We had a bit of a layover, then arrived in Oaxaca fairly late. It was dark, but we knew we'd be in for a treat the next morning. The compound we stayed in was perfect. Casa Penny was stunning. Amy & Graham also stayed there. Casa Mel was cute, quirky and charming. We were their housemates. Buddy, one of the four dogs on the property (yay!) made sure we knew he was there and introduced himself that night. Such a cutie.
