Much like we did in San Miguel de Allende, we try to get out on excursions every weekend. Even though we've only been in Oaxaca a short time, we've already had a few pretty amazing outings we thought would be worth sharing (plus a few older photos we haven't yet gotten around to posting in these galleries). Enjoy!

It's not Oaxaca, but had this one last photo of SMA from Christmas. Had to post!
Just relaxing at the ruins
Then we stumbled upon this art gallery while driving up random mountain roads through the villages of Oaxaca.

Confused Jacaranda tree is blooming out of season. But we're not complaining.
