We are back in Oaxaca, but I have to do a quick advertisement for the hotel we stayed at in Mitla.  It's called Hotel Don Cenobio.

Like most fancy hotels in Mexico, it has a beautiful courtyard with lots of flowers, a swimming pool, and a fountain. That's our balcony on the lower right.

What's interesting about this hotel is that each room has a name, and the furniture is carved and painted according to the name of the room. Our room was called girasoles (sunflowers).

Other rooms included colibri (hummingbird)...

toucan...

alcatraces (calla lilies)...

and acuaria (aquarium). There were lots more, but you'll just have to go to Mitla and see for yourself. While you're there, buy some beautiful embroidered tablecloths, curtains, shirts and bedspreads.
