Hola!
Here, as promised are the Monte Alban photos, hopefully with a bit of explanation...or not, depending on what they are!
 |
| Residence/Tomb 104 |
 |
| I do love stele -- whether carved or not! |
 |
| Some carving on the top |
 |
| R down below, me on North Platform |
 |
| View over main Plaza from North Platform |
 |
| Sunken courtyard |
 |
| Heading toward Main Plaza |
19 foot high stele used for astronomical purposes
Sunken court
Love the carvings
|
|
|
|
 |
| Love the tiny flowers! |
 |
| Me in front of the South Platform |
 |
| Wonderful carvings on the South Platform foundation |
 |
| R at the bottom; me heading (hopefully) for the top! |
 |
| Stunning glyphs |
 |
And even more glyphs!
|
 |
| View over Oaxaca valley |
 |
| Pelota court; looks pretty narrow to me! |
 |
| Glyph under the North Platform |
 |
Believe it or not, there's an unside down head here!
|
The last two photos are from R's cell phone of me making my way up the South Platform! I'm sorry the captions are so wonky -- the blog program just doesn't want to cooperate tonight! But I'm tired so I'm heading to bed!
Love to all!
