Monte Alban

The car is now bedecked with official La Carrera Panamericana banners and officially entered into the race.

We spent the afternoon visiting the Zapotec ruins at Monte Alban, which is a short distance outside Oaxaca. It was a beautiful day and we climbed to the highest of the pyramids. The view from there was magnificent: the mountains and the broad valley with the town.


There have been festivals with fireworks and music every night that we have been here, in different parts of town, but our hotel is high on a hill overlooking the town and we can hear and see them almost anywhere in town.
