Jake Visits Mexico and other things...

 With a Mexican 3-Star General and his wife in Colorado.  Garden of the Gods Park near Colorado Springs.
One of the parts of the job is travel.  This trip was to Veracruz.  Cloudy, rainy day at the beach.

Jake and I went to Teotihuacan.  The pyramids were amazing and really got you thinking about B of M stories.

The views were amazing!

Just imagine this place full of thousands of Indian people before the arrival of Cortez. 

Some recently uncovered artwork.

How cool.

The place is huge and is an easy drive from Mexico City.

Temple of the Moon.

The hike to the top was a bit of a challenge.  Small steps and very steep.



The Temple of the Sun.

Glad Jake came to visit.

Our favorite part is the food.  It is just plain good.

Waiting for breakfast before hiking the pyramids.

Up on the roof...

 
The main plaza with the old chapels and buzz of activity.

They are prepping for the national holiday, September 15th, with huge parades and parties.

Jake sampling the goods at my favorite street taco stand.  The tacos are great! 

Satisfied.  The folks at this stand like me since I eat here almost everyday and I bring them customers all the time.

We went inside.  Very ornate, kind of strange to those of us not used to 16th Century Catholic churches.
