    Mexico City Part II: Not Mexico City

    Just a few shots to get Hector started, I'll dig through the files and find some other shots from Central America, I've got nothing going on today...


    All things tiny, loud, cute and smelly. In Valladolid, on our walk from the house into the town center.



    Caught a ride to Campeche and hung around for two days. Cathedral inside the walled old town section.



    Per tradition I find an unmarked path at one of the ruins and make my wife hike along with me until we find nothing and eventually the nagging makes me abandon the quest. Her standard response to my quest can clearly be seen in the photo. We actually found a temple and another small structure at the end of this path, so I think I'm two for nine if she's keeping score.
    Path to somewhere, Edzna, near Campeche.


    Edzna, the part that's actually on the map.


    Behind the main temple group at Edzna.


    We stopped in Izamal to grab a bite to eat and climb the third largest structure in all of Central America. This is the second year we've lucked out and caught the fair.


    Convent in Izamal. In the 80's the pope spoke here. I did not see the pope lurking around anywhere this year.


    If you're gonna name it that I'm gonna take a picture under the sign.

              Yeah, it's not far from Valladolid. If you're ever on this side of the globe again drop me a line and I'll hook you up with my friends, they have a small tour company and a nice rental house.

                Thanks Bill!
                Just thought I could have tacked my pics into this thread rather than starting my own...
                Oh well... guano happens.

                      Great photos, Bill. I especially love that one of the cathedral at dusk. You could almost see a certain pointy-eared Dark Knight hanging around that kinda place! Looks like it as a fun trip!
                      sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

                            Here's the whole lot from December 2011. It was our third time in Valladolid so there aren't a ton of shots from sites like Chichen and Ek Balam, I'll have to dig out the earlier visits.

                            113 photos in slide show format...

                              Our first visit to Valladolid back in '09. A bit more shots of the ruins, a bit less shots of the town.

                              150-ish photos in slideshow form, again...
