Monte Alban Archeological Ruins (with Amber)

From Sunday, January 16, 2011

After church, Amber & I planned to go to Monte Alban archeological ruins. I had been there back in June, but I was excited to experience it again with someone who’d never seen it. I’d invited a couple of the other teachers from school. They did go with us, but they also brought 2 teens & hung out with them the whole afternoon. So, Amber & I explored together. Here are a couple of pictures of the views that day:

These are the steps I climbed.

This is me (my sneakers) sitting at the top of the steps & looking down.

The ride from Monte Alban back to downtown was quite interesting! The bus was so packed I had to stand in the middle aisle for 15 minutes, as it weaved its way back down the mountain.
