Chichen Itza was absolutely amazing -- the main pyramid is one of the new 7 wonders of the world and it is truly amazing in it´s size and every detail -- the acoustics in the square in front of the pyramid are perfect, and, apparently, every solstice there is a shadow effect that looks like a great snake coming down from the sky on the one side of the pyramid.
In addition to the pyramid, we saw a court where they played their traditional game (the winning captain had the honor of being beheadded and thereby gaining entry to heaven earlier), and a big temple and... well, there is just so much to say and so little time to type.
Today we are at Isla Mujeres -- it´s lovely and we hope to be able to load the pictures soon for you.
Much love -- Cathleen and Rhonda
