We kicked off the first five days of our 16-day 40th wedding anniversary tour of Mexico at Casa Antonieta in Oaxaca. We will always cherish our time in Ciudad Oaxaca, and our experience at Casa Antonieta was a huge part of that. From the cool, pristine, peaceful mornings and evenings on the rooftop patio, to the friendly greetings from Andrea and Romina at the front desk, to the wonderful service from the upstairs bar and breakfast area from the Musa Cafe staff, Casa Antonieta delivered. Thanks for Andrea at the front desk, we were connected to a local guide (Salvador), who was able to take us off the beaten path to the original artisan neighborhood of the city for amazing cacao, coffee, crafts, and textiles. Salvador also took us on a day trip to the Ruta Majical de las Artesenias (The Magical Route of Handicrafts), where we visited four communities of indigenous people who amazed and inspired us. Through Salvador, we personally met "The Oaxacan Freda Khalo" in the mercado in the Ocotian main square. We purchased Oaxacan dresses from Oaxacan women in San Antonino, where we also met Maestro Jose Garcia and Maestra Santa Reyna Teresita, who at this moment are crafting a custom clay piece for our backyard. We did the Oaxacking Food Tour with Leiver, our gastro guide, who took us to the local food establishments and introduced us to the famous, Dona Vale, who was celebrating 40 years of personally serving the most amazing recipes from a food booth in the absolutely unbelievable local mercado en el centro de Oaxaca. Casa Anonieta was our oasis and our hub from which we departed and to which we returned after our awe-inspiring days. I celebrate Oaxaca — its people and its history, and I give thanks for our time at Casa Antonieta. It was our first trip to the city and most certainly won't be the last.
