The following information is now available at the Travel Agency website
<http://antequera.com/TurismoConvento>, where more information about
hotels, city, etc., will be included.  The people in charge are Apolo
and Ulises Bonilla, the owners of "Turismo El Convento de Oaxaca".  This
travel agency has offices at some of the hotels included in our program,
and in particular at the Camino Real.  We have designed two different
packages, either with 5 or 3 nights at Oaxaca.  Extra nights can be
added.  Each package includes 4 lunches, a Guelaguetza dinner (a Mexican
banquet with typical dancers), and a 3-hour trip to the archaelogical
site of Monte Alban (scheduled for Sunday, 11 a.m.).  A typical menu for
lunch would consist on natural fruit juices, salads, two main dishes
(pasta or meat), coffee and tea (vegetarian food included).

Registration in Oaxaca will begin Tuesday, July 6, from 4 p.m. until 8
p.m., and will continue on subsequent days.

[Note:  The relative quality of hotels is designated by the number of
asterisks (*) and the price.  The travel agency will reserve a room for
you where one is available at the rate you request.  All hotels are
located dowtown near Santo Domingo, except Victoria and Mision de los
Angeles, which are a very nice 12-minute walk from Santo Domingo.]
