Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins of Mexico


These photos were taken at the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico in April of 2011.  We actually stayed at Cancun, a top spring break destination. We had to endure a 2 hour bus ride from our Cancun hotel, but the trip was definitely so worth it.
The main facade doesn't have a fancy sign;
concealing a place that  will leave you in awe.
El Entrada
Temple of Kukulcan pyramid

El Caracol observatory
It was still spring break when we visited

According to the guide, losers in this ancient game  are executed.
So don't ever console the losing team with an "it's just a game" remark
Back then, I was looking for a 2013 calendar souvenir
but the Mayan vendors did not have it. :)
