Mitla was a weaving town. In Oaxaca, each little town surrounding the city specialized in a trade. One town would weave, another made black pottery, another made wood carvings, and the list goes on.
Like most towns surrounding Oaxaca, Mitla had ruins as well. When the Spaniards came into Mexico in the 1500's they took from the ruins to build their church.
Though the church is incredible, it made me sad to think how they destroyed this history for their gain.

Hey look! It's another tomb!
This is the symbol of eternity. It's all over the ruins
Mommy and Mason find some shade. The sun was so hot. Poor little Mason got his first sunburn this day, yet another first for the trip.
