Oaxaca's airport features a thatched roof terminal building.
The city resembles Spain in the 1600s because it can trace Spanish influence from those years. It was peaceful when we were there, just after Christmas. We found out later that we had just missed the Oaxaca Radish Festival.
A very good friend of mine was killed in Oaxaca back in hte day, 1975. Evidently, there was a disagreement over payment of something.
