Visit to Faux Ruins







Sunday had a free afternoon so we decided to take advantage of the nearby archeological ruins at Xochicalco, a pre-Mayan community from 300-700 A.D. Xochicalco was declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fun to climb up the stairts of the temples and see the spectacualr views of the surrounding towns. Little of the original stone work was left, but the 20th century restorations gave us somewhat of an idea and something more to look at than a pile of rocks.

Here's about half of the volunteer group for the year atop the pyramid:
