Monte Alban





Ruins from the eras of the Mixtec and Zapotec both prehispanic cultures responsible for these fantastically impressive and beautiful constructions. We spent several hours walking around here with the benefit of a very knowledgeable Mexican English speaking guide. Being an X pro footballer his eighty three years were no obstacle to climbing most of the places he expected us to climb! I'll let the pictures explain a bit and I'll asnwer questions later. We were accompanied by a couple of very polite German blokes.


There was a party of school children taking shelter from the sun during their cultural day out.

Whereas below is Penny.















Ruins!
