: After missing our connection in Mexico City, we found ourselves on a flight to Oaxaca with the mayor of Mexico City, who is running for presidente. All good, but we arrived in Oaxaca to a crowd of supporters.
Anyway, the plan was to visit Monte Alban in the early morning, but instead we arrived at 4 in the afternoon. When we arrived, we found out that they close the gate to the park a hour before closing. We walked around on some paths on the lower part of the road, but the ruins would have to wait until another day.
