We climbed a small pyramid which actually had less stairs then 1060 Beacon St, with our guide. She explained the history once in Spanish then in English, impressive feat really, then let us in on our own to explore the ruins. It was a long walk just to get to the large pyramid. The road of the dead as it is called is not a flat one; it has steps that go up and down the whole way. Vendors also patrolled the way trying to sell use jewelry and nick-nacks.
Finally we made it to the Pyramid of the Sun, the one you are allowed to climb to the top (you can only go half way up the Pyramid of the Moon). We assend the pyramid and after eleven minutes we were at the top looking out at mountain and the entire archological site. It was amazing to be sitting atop a 3000 year old place of worship. Going down was more trying on our legs some of the stairs were quite narrow. We were meeting the rest of the group at the base of the Pyramind of the Moon so we headed that way. We meet up with our group and continued the tour.
As we got back on the bus we realized something, the British woman that sat next to us was not there. We quickly point this fact out to the guide and the bus took off searching for her. Drive on the road along the site everyone on the bus had there eyes pealed to spot her. She had made her way back to the main enterence and that is where we found her. The bus then took us to a local restaurant. After a couple trips to the buffet and share stories with our tour friends. We were kind of excited to talk to people. Being in the house all day doesn’t give us much social time with anyone but each other. This provide alittle social interaction and culture (and a Irish tan for me).
