Leslie and I ventured out of town to Mitla which is another of the Zapotec historical sites. We caught a bus in front of our place then transfered to a very nice greyhound type bus. Lastly, we rode in a this motocar taxi. While Monte' Alban is isolated, this is a tourist town where people live near the ruins. The Zapotec building are composed of interesting tile designs.
We had a soup of yellow mole which has no relationship to the chocolate type moles. I originaly thought that all moles were chocolate flavored, but there are actually several types.
Somehow we were convinced to taste mezcal. There were several types of sweet fruited mezcal including tamarind which seems to be the favorite flavor of Oaxacanos. We didn't like those so much. Leslie purchased a really cute touristy type bottle on which was tied a bamboo shot glass and a bag of worm salt
