During my short stay in Oaxaca, I had the opportunity to go to the ruins of Monte Alban. Old, big, intact, hot, humid, bugs. The usual. I did like Oaxaca. It is a run down town but it is a big artist colony and the center of town is historic and charming. Just don't drink the water and be careful what you eat. The local delicacy is small, dried, and spiced grasshoppers. Yes, I ate some and smothered them in guacamole. Small, dried grasshoppers get stuck in your teeth.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
Ewwwwww...
