Monte Alban is a site of old Zapotec (native Mexicans) ruins right outside Oaxaca. The bus-ride up took no longer than 20 minutes, and what a fantastic site. It was absolutely amazing to see how a place looked that had been the center of a civilization for 1200 years starting 800 BC. One can’t help but wonder if New York will still be a financial center 1000 years from now? Seems unlikely. The ruins were amazing and it felt very special to walk the grounds in a place that some high priest walked 800 BC. Makes our churches in Uppsala seem like modern architecture - all very fascinating.

I like the blog guys! Mexico looks like a blast. Remember that you can come and mtb here in beautiful Oregon whenever you want. Well, better if you come when we're here!
ReplyDeleteI agree, your trip looks really great. We´re looking forward to seeing you in NY. I figure 1.5 mtb session this xmas is enough for keeping up with Mr Fågelben.
