We have had two days of hard traveling.  Last night we found the address listed by Airbnb to find that the family there had never heard of Airbnb and after several confusing texts and phone calls we paid a taxi $2.00 to lead us to the rather prison-like apartment.  We were both exhausted and Charles showered first mentioning that it wasn't very pleasant as there was no hot water.   We remembered a water heater on the back porch and Charles lit it making my experience better.  After sleeping well we were on the road by 9:30 (a record for us), and drove about 10 hours to Oaxaca where we are sleeping for the night in a postcard beautiful hotel converted from a grand house built about 1879 with two courtyards and terraces on the second floor.  Filled with flowering plants and near several gorgeous churches and narrow streets.  The rooms have 20 ft. ceilings and we are very pleased.  Tomorrow we are off to Playa Escondido for a few days.  I am again exhausted and left the camera cord in the Beast which is parked 2 blocks away.  So photos will have to wait.  We are well and optimistic about our continuing success.
