We have been in Oaxaca for about 10 days now and are just about to start our second week of school. Our school, Instituto Cultural Oaxaca, is one of the oldest of its kind here and is situated on a beautiful campus located at the north end of the Centro district. Unfortunately, they have several university groups from America, which means that the school is quite crowded, classes are too large, and there is a scarcity of good teachers, most of whom are assigned to the university groups. So we aren't overjoyed with the school. However the people are nice and we are enjoying Oaxaca a lot.
