Oaxaca

As I've mentioned before, a great place to stay in Oaxaca is Casa Colonial, a charming and secure B&B within easy walking distance to the zocalo. Jane Robison, the owner and an old friend of mine from San Francisco, has had the place for many years and is extremely knowledgeable of the area. She is available as a tour guide. The area is of particular interest to lovers of arts and crafts; the selection of beautiful items is mind blowing.
