Oaxaca Day One

We arrived in Oaxaca late on Saturday night. It was a long day of traveling. Goni was coming down with a cold - flu so we went to the local pharmacy to get some medication to stop her cough. The pharmacy was on a corner and you had to order through a small window cut in the security gate. By morning Goni was worse so she spent the day in bed.

Grover went with the rest of the group to visit the Indian ruins at Monte Alban. The ruins date back to at least 100 BC. Took lots of pictures.Got back to town and spent some time down at the town square (aka Plaza). Lots of people there and some reasonably priced food. All kinds of peddlers trying to sell us stuff. We also visited a very large indoor market with individual shops selling everything from food to shoes to hats and hard liquor.

Goni was feeling good enough to go have dinner so we went and ate outside in the square. We then went back and got ready for our first day on the job.
