Dave took me to a lot of good places. All local places in what I would call the old town. Mexican food, for the most part. Tortas, sopas, huevos and other things I'm not sure what they were called. A sandwich at one place. Ribs at a fancy Italian restaurant.
I tried not to eat too much, but that's tough when you're not at home. Restaurant meals are always so big! I had only supper on Tuesday, all three meals on Wednesday, and no breakfast on Thursday. No dinner on Friday. It helped that I did a lot of walking when in Oaxaca.
Saturday was travel day, and until I arrived in Monterrey, I only had some bread and several packs of nuts and dried fruit. Then my hosts took me to a restaurant for a late lunch, and for dinner I had a cup of corn on the street.
After that I was on business. No lunch and an early dinner on Sunday, which was a good thing, and then three full meals per day during the week. Restaurant meals were always big. For dinners I had Mexican-ish style food every night. Breakfasts were omelettes at the hotel. Lunches at the plant were mixed – enchiladas one day, a ham & Swiss croissant another, and then some sort of Panini thing. Then tamales and soup at my friend's place on the last night.
Skipping some meals definitely helped. I think I didn't actually gain weight on the trip!
