There are usually protests of some kind or another is all of Mexico's large cities, but nothing major is going on in Oaxaca City for the moment besides everyone being saddened due to a recent landslide that killed 6 people. There are no protestors from any of the teachers unions camped out in the zócalo, which is what I believe you are concerned about, right?

I am so happy to hear that. Oaxaca is such a wonderful city.

Just finishing up our trip here in Oaxaca and will be departing on Sunday evening for an overnight bus to Mexico City. Our plan is to go from there to Morelia for a visit and then to Zihua. Once we arrive in Zihua I will post some details of the trip and travel tips based on our experience

Apologize for the delay in posting comments on our visit in Oaxaca but better late than never. We arrived at the Oaxaca airport in the evening and was surprised by the fact that it was quite small considering the size of Oaxaca. Immediately outside the security doors you can purchased tickets on the Collectivo for 80 pesos per person and they will transport you to your hotel downtown. We stayed at the Hotel Vera Cruz which was very nice and only cost 790 pesos per night for a room with two double beds. We were walking distance to everything we wanted to see and only 15 minutes from the Zocalo. The city is incredibly well maintained and the architecture is gorgeous. We left Oaxaca and travelled on an overnight bus to Mexico City and then Morelia. The buses are very comfortable and surprisingly affordable. The only thing to be aware of is that none of the agents we interacted with at the ADO bus terminal spoke English. You can buy your tickets online so this makes the language issue less of a problem if that’s a concern. If anyone has any questions feel free to contact me by email and I will post the response.
