i hate packing, i hate leaving... when i do this i ask myself over and over: am i a masochist? wouldn't it be nice to just stay in one place and be secure of your surroundings?
but then i think about the excitement of newness... that feeling where everything is new and wonderful and life is a clean slate.... i guess this is what keeps me going : the certainty that the new horizon will be just fine and that i will get more clarity as i go along, which is how i feel after each trip.
i had a great day yesterday, i visited the Yagul Ruins and then visited the village of Mezcal. I went to a Mezcaleria and saw the distilation process, I even had the local roasted worms that they bring as snacks along tastings...
it was a fun day, the friend who took me knew a lot about the ruins, he also surprised me with an "international" picnic, he brought drinks and snacks from all over the world: Italy, France, Chile, Spain...i didn't know Oaxaca has a local store where you can get products from all over the world ! as if I was in NY! it was a lot of fun though I was embarrased to arrive to my goodbye party really drunk. Its horrible to realize the things we do when drunk !
Sacred tomb in Yagul
Inspired by this ancient bath tub (or jacuzzi? ) from the Zapotec Kingdom days, apparently only the priests got to come up here....
those roasted worms hehe i admit they where delicious
Mexican Picnic time... a machete, wine glasses and a cooler for the drinks!
Mezcal is traditional snacks are worms or worm salt "sal de gusanito"
