We went back to Mexico city for the weekend to David’s house our Mexican friend . We went to pick up the broken guitar of Alexis, now it is brand new and all repainted!
David took us to his Brazilian friend house just to have a couple of drinks… Finally we went out with their friends in a nightclub and we partied until 7am!

The next night we went out again to eat in a modern Mexican cuisine restaurant and then went out again in a night club but at 3 am we went back home, we were all a bit tired from the night before…
Our food marathona is not over yet, Sunday we went for lunch to have a Mexican specialty, it is beef wrapped in melted cheese, then we went to visit the house of the most famous artist couple in Mexico, Frida Kahlo and Diego Riviera. they are so popular that they occupy two sides of the banknotes of 500 Mexican Pesos.

We said goodbye to David, because the next morning we left early to catch a bus to the city of Oaxaca in the south. Oaxaca is a pretty and relaxing colonial city, it is also the capital of gastonomie and have the richest cuisine in the country. Once again we met Etienne our friend French.

The next day, Carol did not feel well at all, something she ate went wrong! So she spent the day at the hotel and Alexis went with Etienne to visit the ruins of Monte Alban.
Monte Alban was the capital of the Zapotecas civilization, a religious site at 400m at the top of a mountain, from where we could see the whole area.

The site was much more impressive that it looked on the pictures we had seen. The place is full of tombs and pyramids well preserved.

On returning to the hotel, Alexis began also to feel bad… We went for dinner in the evening with Etienne and we walked in the city which is pretty at night.

Etienne left to the coast, but Alexis was not feeling well at all, obliged to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes, so we spent the whole day at the hotel.

The next day, he felt a little better but we went to the doctor because there was free consultations next to the pharmacy , then we went to visit the museum San Domingo, a wonderful museum about the culture of Oaxaca from pre-Hispanic time to today, housed in a huge convent where we saw the treasures found by archaeologists in the tombs of Monte Alban.
