From the Laguna

Eventful Week.

In Oaxaca, fried crickets are a favortite snack food. You can get them anywhere.
 These are probably best suited to a fish food enthusiast. They were limey, fishy.
 A hop, skimp, jump and 50 pesos to get us over to Mezcal Country, east of Oaxaca City. This is the first place we stopped, ate some mole and got a tour of the place. Fine Mezcal.
 They had all these cute animals hanging around. Peacocks, funny little pigs I´ve never seen before, turkeys... 
This little guy was something like a foxcoon..
¨Mezcal Capital¨ They are very proud of this product. Its kinda like tequila, but with a smokey finish.
 Made with the heart of the Agave Plant...
 But woe! It started to look a lot like mexico when we began finding spiders and scorpians feasting on a cockroach.. Amar went into town today to get raid.
Otherwise, things are sailing smoothly. We just got to Laguna Chacahua on the pacific coast and we´re settling in for Christmas. By good fortune, someone recommened this beach, which is something of a well-kept-secret. Just a few beachside cabanas with palm roofs, A few hammocks, and a brilliant blue ocean.

This is our cabaña, and I´m sure there is a scorpian in there.

All for now. 
Except, that I wanted to say that this short blog is in memory of my recently passed grandpa, 
who I will miss very much. -Gil
