just more pix. the Road home.

Me at Monte Alban.
Sideways calendas...
Women dancing at the blessing of the busses.
another bus being blessed.
The market at Mitla, with the church in the background. This church, like many, was built on the site of a Mayan temple complex that the Holy Spanish Fathers tore down. The stones from the temples were used to build the church. This temple complex, like Monte Alban, is still being studied and rebuilt. The decorations on the stones are written in a linear grecian-looking type of script that is known to be a language but is unreadable.

if a bus is blessed, is it safer to ride than a bus that hasn't been blessed?
