Mitla, Mezcal and Monte Alban
... br>
Monte Alban itself was OK. It is vast to be sure and it has been renovated quite extensively. The museum section was interesting (but all in Spanish) and some of the remains they have are fantastic. But it wasn’t Palenque. We spent about 2 hours here (it seems to be the cut off for us, no matter what the place is like!) and walked up a lot of rebuilt temples. The views from some were fabulous of the site. I am pleased ...

Oaxaca & Monte Alban
Le bus est arrivé vers 3h du matin à Oaxaca. Heureusement, on avait l'adresse d'une auberge ouverte 24/7. On a pu donc continuer notre nuit un moment. Ces voyages de nuit en bus sont moins pires que je ne le pensais, mais on est quand même bien mieux à plat sur un matelas...
Oaxaca est une jolie ville. Il y a même un quartier qui m'a fait me demander si on était pas en Europe (voir avant-avant dernière photo) : tout était lisse, ...
