Skeletons & fireworks

---

A five hour drive turned into a ten hour drive due to military check points and some upset workers who were drinking beers while blocking off the highway for three hours brings us to Oaxaca. Oaxaca's a sweet city, big city feel without the big city pains. There are a lot of artists and students here so there's a great vibe when you're walking around. It also happened to be a particular holiday inwhich fireworks are lit from all the different churches at all hours. Then we happened to run into a parade with lots of music, fireworks and general shenanigans. After a couple nights in Oaxaca we headed to Monte Alban which is an ancient city in ruins on top of a nearby mountain. We figure that the Mayans must have had great butts due to all the enormous stairs, its a good workout walking around the ruins.

I think this sensation that I'm feeling might just be jealousy...

Remember after you free Han Solo from the carbonite he wont be able to see for a while and generally be really weak until Jaba tries to throw you guys into the huge worm pit.
