Teotihuacan
March 20th, 2008
Today we went on a tour to Teotihuacan, coninciding with the Vernal Equinox. This is the day the pyramids line up exactly with the sun
and thousands of sun worshippers visit. The downside of going at this time was that the queue to climb the Pyramid of the Sun was
too long for us to join. The plus side was that the atmosphere was great.
