Ex-Convent of Santa Catalina

The first half of our trip to Oaxaca was to the capital -- Oaxaca. There we stayed at the Camino Real Hotel in a 16th-century ex-convent. It was heavenly. Each day we would wander past the original frescos, past the little chapel, past the big chapel, through the many unique courtyards. We were sad to leave.





Los Lavaderos -- the laundry. There is a still functioning aquaduct that feeds the convent with water and also feeds this deluxe marble laundry facility that the monks used to keep their smalls tidy.









This is my "I was so relaxed here until I handed my camera to Zorra" look.
