Christmas Break Catchup 2

Another day we went to Teotihuacan, the Mexican pyramids. These were built pre-Mayan and have been largely reconstructed.  We were told before we got there that we would have to go up 500 steps, but thankfully, I do not think that there were that many between the two pyramids we scaled.  The place was huge and spacious.  I didn't realize it till after, but it was odd (wonderful) to be in a large, open space like that.  We were definitely out of the city. We very thankful for our driver that day, for what would have taken us six hours round-trip just in transport by bus/metro, took us about three round-trip with the car.  Thank you Padre Tonio for the car and Juan for driving us!
