Monte Alban

May 1rst...an international holiday...May day, as it is called here; basically an international Labor Day. Mexico celebrates this day, and therefore I had the day off. Wanting to make the most of the day, we headed out to Monte Alban to take in the sights. We didn't get to see many of the sights as our trip was cut a little short, but hopefully Becca will talk about why in her blog...she writes better than I do.

This is a panaromic taken from the ball court, just as you enter the main complex. The size of the grounds are VERY impressive. I forgot to adjust my camera settings to make a good photo merge, therefore you can see the picture lines in this one. The picture below I set right though.

Taken from the South Court, this view sure makes the mind wonder what used to occur here all those years ago. Although our trip was cut short, we will no dought be returning many times to take in all that there is to see. This site is set up high on a small mountain which makes the view of Oaxaca very impressive as well.
