Fondest memory: Taking the bus ride up to see Monte Alban. The bus driver must have been in the Indy 500. We sat in the back of the bus and he drove up the mountain, through the hairpin curves, like it was nothing! It was scary at times when you sit in the back of the bus, going around a curve, and the back of the bus is hanging over the cliff while the guy is speeding up the mountain. Definately something that I will never forget!

Favorite thing: You must see the ruins of Monte Alban. This ruin site sits perched on the top of a high plateau overlooking the city of Oaxaca and the surrounding valleys. The scenery is like candy to the eyes!
