Relajando

I just got back from my temazcal treatment. A temazcal is an indigenous steam bath in a very small room. The temazcalera loads the hot rocks with herbal teas and then also spends a lot of time hitting me and sprinking me with herbs. It was a really interesting experience. Afterwards I got a massage. The massage was great though it was funny because there was a lot of construction commotion, and later on there were so many dogs yelping, amidst the tranquil music of ocean waves. Anyway, it was quite a good experience and sort of a humorous one too, best of both worlds. Dad and I are going to go to a nice dinner in a little bit at a restaurant called Los Danzantes to celebrate our last night in Oaxaca city. Tomorrow at 9:30am we take a bus to Pochutla which is close to Puerto Angel on the Oaxacan coast. We are going to stay at least the first night and maybe more at a hotel called Bahia de la Luna in Playa La Boquilla. I am looking forward to it--the bus ride is about 9 hours!!! Get ready! I doubt I will have internet connections after tonight until we get back on Sunday night. Hasta domingo!
