Oaxaca

We spent three fantastic days in Oaxaca following an eight hour bus ride through the mountains. After a long day on the bus we arrived in Oaxaca with our friends from Hoofbeats and Ticket to Ride. After the six of us schlepped all our gear around and toured several hotels we finally all agreed on the lovely Casa Antigua. Centrally located, it was the perfect base to see see the sites. Oaxaca is walker-friendly colonial city over 500 years old and chock full of museums and gourgeous architecture. Known for it's shopping, chocolate (usually made into mole) and indgenous cultures there was a ton to see an do. Our second day the six of us hired a van to taked us to the ruins of Monte Alban. An ancient city circa 500 a.d., it was interesting to see the remnants from this ancient time. Below are tons of pictures from our three busy days. It was such a photogenic place. The churches are the ancient Santo Domingo which served at both a convent and a monestary during different times in history and the main cathedral in the Zocolo. I hope you have as much fun seeing the pictures as I did taking them.
