Dia: 24


El 24 de junio
This was probably one of my favorite days in Oaxaca because I spent most of it with my friend Victor at the Hierve el Agua which is a waterfall located a little southeast of Mitla. This is not a typical waterfall; the water is originating from a geyser in the mountain at a very slow rate and it is full of calcium. Because the water is full of calcium, it turns the mountain white. Before the actual waterfall, there are two natural pools for people to swim in. Going to the waterfall involved a lot of hiking but it was all worth it because the scenery was surreal. 
Next, we went to the movies to see Madagascar. The tickets were expensive: 150 pesos for IMAX. My experience at the movies was interesting for many reasons: 1. The movies were packed and like I said, they were expensive. How can so many of these people that are living at the poverty level, afford to go to the movies? 2. There is an option to pay to have a better seat and even when you don't want a better seat, you have to choose which seat you want. Therefore, everyone has assigned seats. 3. We had 3D glasses, just like every other 3D movie but at the end, we HAD to return the glasses. Before the movies we went to Chedruai and Blockbuster. After going to a Mexican Blockbuster, I now understand why they haven't gone out of business; so busy!
