Now that I’m back in Chicago in 50-degree weather (and have been since Easter Saturday), here are a few shots of Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza translates to “the mouth of the well of the people of Itza.” The Mayans used to throw their human sacrifices down one well (cenote) and drink from the other. The trip to Chichen Itza is one we made many years ago, when they still let you climb the pyramid.

If you’ve seen the movie “Against All Odds,” you may be familiar with some of these sights of one of the 7 Wonders (new) of the World.
Is this meant to represent a lizard or Quetzalcoatl?
The moon, at times, in Mexico, was bright red. This is a beautiful shot.

Now there's somethin' you don't see ever' day!
