Hi Daryl, I am from baja but been living in Germany for the last 10 years,what a trip that u are living in that city man! i remeber my trip there 12 yrs ago,we got trapped in a bus going from the coast of puerto angel up to Oaxaca city,there was nothing but jungle and a little children school where we got tortilla coffee and bread from an indigenous and generous family,after spending a whole day trapped in the woods we decided to take a chance and walk back down through the jungle which took us about 5 hrs.before we could find a taxi to drive us back,it was one of the most exciting and misterious trip i ve been to! cheers Luis --- Daryl <highhorse@mhorse.com> wrote: > Greetings, all...I unsubbed from the list almost two > years ago due to > travel preparations for moving from San Francisco > down here to Oaxaca, > Mexico, but finally have some time to start being a > social musician > again.
