Spent a good part of today in a hotel watching English football .. Swansea v Chelsea and West Ham v Man City. Unfortunately despite wave after wave of attack City could only draw at Upton Park. It is interesting watching football in Mexico .. the commentary is obviously all in spanish, they appear to get very exicited and talk alot. They use nicknames a lot more for players (eg. I hear Carlos Tevez called Carlito - and Torres called El Niño). When a goal is scored they yell "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool" for literally 20 seconds.
After the football we went and had lunch in the market, the area we ate in they give you a tray (which looks like an upside down thai hat), with spring onions an chillies, then you wander down and grab whatever meat you like and they charcoal it up for you. There are many vendors offering the same service so they can get a bit pushy, there is people and smoke everywhere. I noticed one of our onions fall on the ground, lie there for a minute then get picked up and thrown back onto the coals.
Starting to feel a bit stir crazy here in Oaxaca .. feel it is time to move on .. but we still haven´t decided where we are going to go next.
