I saw whole families begging when I was last there. Very sad. So, that is the reason you will see more fairs everywhere in Mexico - they are comin to us since we aren't going there. <br />However, with that said, the Germans, Italians and French are there in great numbers. I met many of them.<br />I traveled from San Miguel to Oaxaca by bus - bus to Mexico City - taxi to other terminal and bus to Oaxaca. Total trip time about 14 hours (that includes the travel time to cross Mexico City by taxi) Cost - $90US each way.<br />Great deal....... <br />Patzcauro is NOT on the way to Oaxaca but nearer Guadalajara.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-59350621828254697022009-04-14T12:37:00.000-05:002009-04-14T12:37:00.000-05:00Oh, I've been wanting to try pipian...and I would ...Oh, I've been wanting to try pipian...and I would even try the chapulines (I think).
