in and around Oaxaca before in and around Oaxaca

Well something went wrong there with the posting Penny started ..there should have been a couple of pics with explanations about the two places we went to before Mitla. The first was el Tule , a gigantic cypress tree which is in fact the worlds largest organism. and is 40 mtrs high over 52 mtrs in diameter and is about 2000 years old. They irrigate directly to the roots 10,000 gallons of water every day.After el Tule we went to Teotitlan del valle where they do everything just like on the Isle of Harris only they do it in very hot weather most of the time. Oaxaca's version of Harris Tweed! We'll have to put pictures on tomorrow cause uploading has slowed down again and we are about to eat. Here are the pics now ..
