Good! :D Please note that there is a group getting organized to travel
'round together [1]. My wife has been also gathering some interesting
information regarding travelling in Mexico [2]. She has also been
working on information on some states (IIRC Oaxaca was the only
completed one so far), but I cannot find it - Either she or I will
post it soon :)

Don't worry, Mexico is not such a forgotten place ;-) In the even
there is no rental place in Oaxtepec, I'm sure you will find something
in Cuautla (10 minutes away). Anyway, locals: Can you hint on this?
