The town of Oaxaca has lots of cobblestone streets and lots of old colonial buildings. Today I visited Monte Alban (means White Mountain) which are ruins located about 6kms from the city. It was first occupied in about 500BC by the Zapotecs. The city comprises of many temples. There are also many tombs. The market here is really good and I tried the local delicacy here Mole Rojo which is chicken served in a sauce of fruits, chocolate, chile and spices with rice. It sounds a bit odd but it was actually very nice!! There seems to be a lot more poor people in Oaxaca then anywhere else i have been so far.
