This took forever to upload, and I am SO SORRY! If you have been checking on here at all in the last week you have probably asked yourself: "Where the heck is Phil??" Well, my friend, I have been everywhere. Swimming underground, watching movies, seeing even MORE ruins, taking overnight buses, biking, meeting indigenous peoples, etc. Enjoy these photos from Monte Alban. And try to imagine clearing off the top of a small mountain to make your religious/civic center for your city. 1500 years ago.
