Planetarium

Made some young friends that are the daughters of the owner of the hostel. They are very sweet. The middle sister, Jasmine, invited us to a private party at the planetarium overlooking Oaxaca city. We weren't sure what we were in for, but we had a great night. It was a small gathering after the planetarium closed. The curator brought out his telescope and showed us the moon, Vega, Alpha Centauri and Jupiter. We had a great time trying to practice Spanish. The funniest thing was watching James try to have a conversation about black holes, physics and the space-time continuum in Spanish. It was a good mix of locals, foreigners and Ex-pats. Plus it was a beautiful view of the city and the heavens.
