We have really enjoyed getting lifts into Paz with Sergio and Citiali and their super family, Amber and Estefan. It’s been lovely getting to know them and learn about Oaxaca. We went for a day trip with them to Ixtlan which is a couple of hours away. Citiali used to work there and this year they have just opened a Mirador viewpoint that looks out across Ixtlan. It was also my birthday so the whole day was a treat for me too. To be honest, the mirador itself was not quite my cup of tea. I hate heights and the viewpoint walks out on a see through floor. However I managed to walk on a bit and the views were stunning. Sergio even got a live band to sing happy birthday to me. On the way to Ixtlan we stopped for tasty breakfast in a lovely restaurant, then we went to a fish restaurant on the way home where they breed the fish next to the restaurant. We were able to feed the fish after they had fed us (washed down with a few mezcals)! All in all it was a lovely birthday thanks to Sergio and Citiali driving us all day, knowing the best places to go and being great company.
