Reading our trusty LP (that's Lonely Planet to you) we discovered there was a lot to see outside Oaxaca but nothing really accessible without a car. As most Mexicans drive like they have a woman giving birth in their backseat we decided to take a tour (very uncool if you're a real hardcore traveler but great for cramming things into one day). We made a a few new friends who also happened to be staying at our hotel, meet Greg and Naomi with Sassie, Jax and I... We all hung out together for the rest of our stay and as Greg and Naomi are also fluent in Spanish it gave Sarah what was probably a welcome break in her role as interpreter and general fixer of all things which required more than two sentences of Spanish.
