Here's is his report: "I'm in Oaxaca. It's pretty cool here right now because there have been these sometimes violent political demonstrations since June against the Governor. The whole center of the city is blockaded with tires and burned out cars. There is anti government graffiti everywhere. Needless to say there are no tourists. All the hotels, restaurants, etc. here in Oaxaca are offering half-off or more because there haven't been tourists for months. I have a nice hotel room for $10 a night. I might stay a while."
