This is a Mayan observatory and some more ruins nearby. The area is very big. Did you know there aren't any above-ground water sources in the entire area? No lakes, streams or rivers at all! They had to go underground to get all their water.

Viva Mexico!
Here I am at Chichen Itza (accent on the "za"...it doesn't sound like "chicken pizza," or so the tour guide told us). Of course, chicken pizza would be offensive to me for other reasons...Anyway, this is the unrestored side of the famous pyramid. It was really, really, really hot there.
