I saw the Tule tree in 1957. It looked just as big then. I went to Oaxaca to see the restored ruins of the Zapotec and Mixtec cities of Monte Alban and Mitla. Monte Alban was on the top of a hill overlooking Oaxaca. It had several pyramids of the stepped verticle style seen in other restored Mexican sites. Mitla was very different. It has very horizontal construction with rectangular shapes and decoration.
