Pemex! We woke up around 7 o'clock, took a tasty breakfast with eggs and vegetables. After the breakfast, we took the direction of Oaxaca. But which road..! We were driving at 20Mph most part of the time as the road was never straight. Often without shoulder, funny to see. Lot of animals in the middle of the road, mostly cows and horses. The mountain villages are certainly the most prettiest villages, people seems cheerful and friendly, as much as we sink in their smiles. Which was our astonishment when we saw a little volkswagen camper licenced from the European Union on the side of the road! Later on, we reach the end of the Sierra Madre del Sur and goes out from this crazy road. Around 17h00, we saw the camper on a Pemex parking (more rare here) and we decided to stop there and sleep there, and also to meet those people. Germany! Yes, they bring their camper from Germany on a tranport ship to the southern Argentina, and did all the South America, heading up to the Alaska. Really cool people, we talk a lot with them about some subjets like the languages, the german really further from the french and spanish. After the meal, Julio and his girlfriend came to our van to asked us about shutting off the candle, because the gasoline tanks were near our van. We finally talked with Julio, who is 8 years old, and showed him our stupid video that we put on the website 2 days ago. He found it really funny! Tomorrow, we'll head up to Monte Albán, now at approximately 50 kilometers from here. Thats also there that our friends from Germany are going!
