cheese and trees.

Last weekend, a group of us traveled to Oaxaca. It is home of three important things. First is quesillo, that tasty and stringy cheese that I am obsessed with. Second is mezcal, an alcoholic drink that is made from an agave plant and that is stronger than tequila. Third is El Arbol del Tule, the biggest tree in the world with the stoutest trunk in the world. We got to experience a little bit of it all. I was a fan. I was also a fan that the weather was in the '80s the entire time. Cha-ching!

In addition, we visited Monte Alban (featured in the photo). It is an archaeological site that sits atop a mountain that has the most gorgeous view of the city. Monte Alban is actually the intersection of the three valleys that make up Oaxaca. While having a great view, the site itself was also appealing to the eye. The ancient stone carvings were still visible to this day!
