On the road in Oaxaca. I can honestly say I’ve never seen the veritable Nissan Tsuru, or as we know it here in the US, the Sentra, ever feted in an article, but here it is… and much much more!
The 5 cheapest places to visit in Mexico? I’m betting I can beat this list, but you’ll see some great stuff at any of these locations!

Cheese with your wine? Check out my thoughts on the queserias of Ezekiel Montes, near Queretaro.
If you don’t know how to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and yes… soup with a tortilla, you haven’t lived. Bricia Lopez of Guelaguetza in Los Angeles gets it right in this nice read on “finger foods” around the world.

Have a great week!
