    Oaxaca

    November 7, 2022 in Mexico ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Highlights:
    - See food and drink section!
    - Josh joined the wrong food tour when Serena was ill - supposed to be a cooking class and was instead a street food tour which suited him more!
    - Josh met people from his food tour for drinks on a rooftop terrace
    - Joined in on some dancing in the square and some ladies helped us with the moves!

    Lowlights:
    - Serena being ill, likely altitude sickness, and missing the cooking class

    Food and drink:
    - Tlayudas (a bit like a pizza cooked over charcoal filled with beans, meat and stringy cheese)
    - Josh's accidental street food tour:
    - grasshoppers
    - stewed pork
    - hot chocolate
    - mezcal
    - intestine
    - tamales
    - ant and squash blossom quesadillas
    - memelas
    - The tour also included the following food and drink which Serena ate the next day with Josh as the tour guide!
    - pozontle (a ceremonial corn and cacao cold drink)
    - green juice
    - tuna (the cactus flower not the fish!) and passion fruit sorbet
    - 4 types of mole with tortilla
    - Dinner at La Terraza del Copal (Serena pork coloradito mole, Josh chicken black mole)
    - Drinks at a rooftop bar (mezcalita and mezcal mojito - even in a cocktail we're still not keen on mezcal!)
