El Primer DIa en Mexico- Monte Alban
Hola Amigos y familia!
Sadly my blog always seems to be neglected when I am immersed in my regular life. That is either a sign that I need to be doing more interesting things on a egualr basis, or that I need to not keep myself quite so busy so I can find the time to share. Starting today, and over the next several months I am going to be posting quite a bit because once again I have hit air and road on my next big life adventure.
Last night I arrived in Oaxaca, Mexico with very little plan and a ticket to stay in Mexico and Central America until November, 2. Strategically planned so that I will be home for this most important election, since I missed the last election on my LAST big adventure.
My mom, Ray, my uncle Don and his wife Dobbe were all here to greet me and help me feel comfrtable and at home right away. They have been here for a few days already and have been wnadering around, getting familiar with this colonial city. SInce they had been waiting for a few days to begin doing the really fun stuff. So my first day started early with a plan to go to Monte Alban, an ancient Zapotec ritual-ceremonial site. This was the first time I had ever been to see mesoamerican ruins and the pyramids, temples and stonework were truly amazing. I took some pictures which I am going to try and figure out how to post because I feel my descriptions will not do justice to the beauty and immensity of the place.
OKay, got to go for now. Parents want to try and eat at the outdoor restaurant that appears after 9:30 on the corner up the street. We`ll see how it goes. I have started taking my acidophilus. My goal is to make it through the first week without getting the runs.
