The tale of a traditional Mexican food cooking class in Oaxaca, Mexico
From Zipolite we had to high tail it to San Cristobal de Las Casas to meet up with Jennifer and Vanessa. “Jenessa” as we called them are good friends from California who were coming for a three week visit. They flew into Cancun and took a crazy 18 hour bus ride to meet up with [...]
