Pyramids
There was a march scheduled to go down the main street Reforma this day so we decided to go out to the pyramids. The drive was crazy, there were houses upon houses eveywhere all the way out of the city. Each little mountain had houses almost to the top. There are no roads, and the houses almost look like steps. We stopped for lunch at a little cafe near the pyramids then drove over to the entrance. They had just closed the entrance but Nacho was able to ask them to let us in since this was our only chance to see them. So we rushed out to the Pyramid of the Sun and were allowed about half way up. We were out of breath by then so not really a big deal. The thing was massive the steps were steap and it had all these rocks jutting out. So this must have been what they considered a rock climbing wall. The whole area from the top was neat to see where the house would have been. After the Sun we took a strole down too the moon temple. Its impressive walking down it you almost feel like ben hur or something. Like in the old day there could be people seatted on all the steps off to each side as you aproach this massive structure. After braving the local merchants, which seemed desperate to sell we made out way back to town for a wonderful dinner and a shot of tequila. The next morning we saw a gentleman breathing fire.. we found out that they use actual gasoline to do this no fancy tricks. Yuck.
