Absentee Blogger

Before heading into these last two weeks, I thought I was in for my most relaxing stretch.  I only had to adjust to a new teacher, and wasn't leaving Puebla for the weekends.  As often is the case, I was wrong.  Homework piled up; I gave an hour and a half presentation yesterday. 

Thankfully, all that is over.  With the presentation behind me, these last two weeks of class should be relatively painless.  I was able to travel again (I'm writing this from Oaxaca).  Oaxaca is a city about four hours south of Puebla.  It has a large indigenous population, so the culture feels a little different.  We got in last night, and today we're going to see the pyramids, which are a set of well preserved Mayan ruins.  We also might go see the worlds "widest" tree, which is about 2,500 years old.  That puts life in perspective.
