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.
Cruising the Danube
Life on the river often means spots where I can't get a good wifi connection so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I'm going to do this one fast and then get more detailed on the last two stops. I'm sailing with AMA Waterways and the ship is the AmaVerde as seen from the dock in Vidin. Usually I share a bigger cabin with a friend but for this trip we decided to splurge and get our own cabin. Here's my little home for the week. Most of Thursday was on the ship as we sailed from Bulgaria to Serbia. This lock is the second gate of the Iron Gates. Looking over at the dam on the river. View from my cabin. The water is just below the window. There are only three decks on this ship and I'm on Level 3.
Ewwwwww...
