We paid quickly and hurried into the huge archelogical area and made a run at seeing the major sites. Here is the whole group and yours truly atop the Pyramid of the Sun. Notice that we made it up there and had this picture made by 5:11 pm. Not bad, considering we had to climb 258 feet up rough stairs at about 7,500 feet of altitude.

After a bunch of shots of the group for those with cameras it was time to hurry down the steps and move on to the Temple of the Moon. Notice how rough the stairs are as you see Christine, Marc and Amy are climbing down.

This complex is the museum for the Teotihuacan site. I've been inside it once and it's very well done. Unfortunately, we don't have time to see it today. 24 minutes to go when this picture was made.

A smaller group made it to the top of the Temple of the Moon. Christine did eventually arrive on top, but Nancy was the only woman to make it up with the guys. Yours truly took the picture, so I was there too. Notice it took us a while to get there. Not bad, since we had to climb down from the Sun, climb across the wall to the Avenue of the Dead (the straight street you see behind Dustin Lee) and get up a very steep set of stairs. This was a distance of about 1/2 mile.

We made it to the temple of the pillars. This is most of the kids in the temple. We had seen a reproduction of this room in the Anthropology Museum last night.

A picture of a detail around the top of the temple of the pillars. The painting are original after over 800 years!

Another group shot with the Temple of the Sun behind them. Park closed at 18:00.

Another group shot with the Temple of the Moon behind them. Two minutes later. This was possible because they point out a photo opportunity site and we followed instructions, for once.

I had my picture taken here in the same spot last year and just wanted to see how much I have changed. By the way, you can navigate to the pictures from last year by clicking on this link and then clicking on the date for Teotihuacan.
