On Sunday we walked to Dainzu, our favorite Oaxacan breakfast place, where we had a lovely breakfast outside. Then we drove to the Guachimontones (the round pyramids), followed by a lovely lunch at Hacienda del Carmen. We really appreciate them taking the time to come see us &#8220;in our natural habitat,&#8221; as James says.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4207\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/Guachimontes.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4207\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-4207\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/Guachimontes-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Guachimontes\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guachimontes-225x300.jpg 225w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Guachimontes.jpg 296w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4207\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guachimontones<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Tuesday night John and I went to a happy hour across the street where we saw an old friend from Pakistan &#8211; he was here for a conference.

It&#8217;s stressful but exciting at the same time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.5em;\">Sad news this week &#8211; Aunt Bonnie passed away. She was Mom&#8217;s little sister who lived in the house behind her. I have such fond memories of going to see her in Manhattan Beach, California, as a child. She always seemed so glamorous to me.
