We are on the Estrella Roja airporter bus on our way to Benito Juarez Airport in Mexico City. It is very luxe with free wifi, a choice of beverages and snacks and an espresso machine to load us up in the airport before departure. On my left are the two snow-capped volcanoes. El Popo has a faint whoso of smoke coming out of his cone. These are both active. Quite a view. The cost of the two hour trip is 194 pesos which is about $16 USD. The important tip is to buy your ticket at TAPU bus station when you arrive in Puebla from Oaxaca and if you are staying downtown you want to leave from the 4 Poniente terminal which was about 7 minutes from our historic center hotel.

What is a Study Tour: Our programs are designed as learning experiences, and as such we talk with makers about how and why they create, what is meaningful to them in their designs, the ancient history of patterning and design, use of color, tradition and innovation, values and cultural continuity, and the social context within which they work. First and foremost, we are educators. Norma worked in top US universities for over 35 years and Eric founded the education department at Oaxaca’s textile museum. We create connection and help artisans reach people who value them and their work.
