This past week Kiefer and I visited the city/state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The experience was beyond our expectations. We visited all the culture centers associated with the area and were surprised at the extent taken by the people of that region to preserve and protect their past and their culture. It is the most important thing they have to connect them to their ancestry...
We visited a particular historical site called Mt. Alban just outside the city of Oaxaca. My brother and his wife Steve and Karen were our guides and showed us the area and explained the true breadth of the Zapotec Culture. Both Kiefer and I were truely respectful of the spiritual and history that existed in this historical area. Woody decided he would pass on this venture being told of some of the traditions of the culture and how dogs are part of the food chain which we debunked during our stay.
We hope in our journey to theNational Parks here in the US we will experience the desire to protect and preserve our National History... See you out there soon...Jack, Kiefer and of course Woody...
