We arrived in the City of Oaxaca on Sunday. Hurricane Agatha hit the shores of Oaxaca which is 5 to 6 hours from where we are. From the news it appeared we would have a ton of rain. Well we lucked out and only a little rain every couple of hours. Yesterday morning we figured we better visit Monte Alban before rain really came in.
Monte Alban is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan Municipality in the southern Mexican State of Oaxaca.
Monte Alban is an ancient Zapotec metropolis founded in the sixth century Before Christ!
Monte Alban overlooks the city of Oaxaca. You should have seen the road we had to drive up to get to this place. Very little road with cliff on my side of the car! YIKES!!! I am so very lucky Clarence loves me so much and did not drive off the cliff!
Here are some pictures of Monte Alban
