Hello, my name is Molly Weird my new mom found me at the Salvation Army in a huge stack load of toys. I was with Bon who was the toyvoyager that assisted in rescuing me. I'm so happy. I don't even know how long I was in that pile of toys for before I felt like I'd never be rescued.
But now that I am rescued, I'm a very happy toy. Sara didn't really know what I was, so she named me Molly Weird. I don't know, I am pretty weird so I thought that name fit pretty well! After talking for a while with my first host she decided I'll be on my way to Mexico. I'm quite excited but I hope the journey will be a fast one! Wish me luck and see you in Mexico! <3

Hola mami!
We have known the Historic centre of Oaxaca today! It was terrific! I love this City, there are many places to go in the center! We have visited Santo Domingo Church, The Cathedral, The Soledad church, the dowtown, an old aqueduct, and many places! My host is very gentile, and he takes me everywhere. I'm close to my first Life Mission. Now we have to go to Monte Alban, but we will go the week end... I'm so impatient, I want to know right now!
Greetings from México mom!
Me gusta mucho Oaxaca, es una ciudad muy bonita!

Hi mom!
A bit of History :
The Church and former monastery of Santo Domingo de Guzmán is the most important of the numerous baroque ecclesiastical buildings in Oaxaca, Oaxaca, Mexico. The complex of buildings includes a substantial sanctuary and an extensive system of courtyards, cloisters and rooms that formerly constituted the monastery but now house the Cultural Centre of Oaxaca. This museum includes an important collection of pre-Columban artefacts, among them the contents of Tomb 7 from the nearby Zapotec site of Monte Albán. The former monastery garden is now an Ethnobotanical Garden, containing a large collection of plants native to the region.
The entrance to both church and museum is across a wide plaza that acts as a centre for local fiestas and other entertainments. It is located about half a kilometre north of the central squares of the city, the Zócalo and the Alameda, and the connecting street is pedestrianised, so it is a popular place for both tourists and local residents to stroll.

Oaxaca, Mexico - 11th May 2008

Hi Mama!
We have Completed my first Life Mission, I have known The Historic Centre of Oaxaca and the Archaeological Site of Monte Albán.
Here We are in Monte Albán, a large pre-Columbian archaeological site close to the ville of Oaxaca. The site is located on a low mountainous range rising above the plain in the central section of the Valley of Oaxaca.
The civic-ceremonial center of the Monte Albán site is situated atop an artificially-levelled ridge, which with an elevation of about 1940 m (6368 ft) above mean sea level rises some 400 m (1312 ft) from the valley floor. In addition to the aforementioned monumental core, the site is characterized by several hundred artificial terraces and a dozen clusters of mounded architecture covering the entire ridgeline and surrounding flanks (Blanton 1978). The archaeological ruins on the nearby Atzompa and El Gallo hills to the north are traditionally considered to be an integral part of the ancient city as well.
There have lived the Zapotecas and important civilization in Mexico, That place it's grate, i liked to much mom!
I am going to buy you a postcard from this site! i'ts fantastic!!!!

She arrived safe and sound in Bremerton on Monday. She's looking forward to attending a Seattle Mariner's game this evening. More updates to come.
Until then, she's off to enjoy some fruit with her new host family!

Today she got out since it was a beautiful (and cold!) day. She wanted to show me around when the leaves are changing color and are at peak. It was to see it!
First was a landmark spot which told me about the area that she lives in.
Then we went up to Grandad's Bluff which overlooks the city and more! (we had to observe the signs) To the far left on the other side of the Mississippi River is Iowa and then Minnesota. You can see the two blue bridges which cross over into MN.
