Introduction

Hello everyone! This blog is a collaboration of work by Melissa Skinas and Andrew McSherry.  We share a love for traveling, hiking, and scuba diving, so we decided to pick a location in which we could hypothetically partake in these activities.  We landed on the decision of blogging about the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca.  Neither of us have travelled to this beautiful region, but it is a destination we both hope to someday experience. 

We chose Oaxaca because it is blessed with a wide variety of amazing geographical features that were particularly interesting to us. From the deepest cave in the Americas to lush rainforests, beautiful beaches, and several converging mountain ranges, this state has plenty of geographical wonders to learn about and explore. As we learn more about geographical forms and processes in Geography 1202, we will be applying these concepts to the landscapes of Oaxaca, Mexico.
