Local Pyramid

This pyramid is in our area. When others came to the areas with the pyramids, they covered the pyramid with dirt and built their church on top. Lately the Mexican people have began uncovering the pyramids and have found many artifacts. This is about 10 to 15 minutes from our home. The Temple of the Sun is 3 hours away, just north of Mexico City.
Charles went to a soccer game with a big group from work. He had a lot of fun. I just like the picture, he is so cute. They ended up on the news, they were all dressed alike. The group went to a taco place after. It was hard to find a place for all of them because everyone from the game had the same idea. Tacos are so good there, not anything like tacos in the states.

Pyramids

Isn't it so awesome. I loved seeing this. You can climb to the top which is totally cool. You can see how big the city use to be. The pyramid behind us is the Temple of the Sun. We went early in the morning so there were not many people there. It's a good climb at the end but the view is so worth it.
There are a series of stairs you climb up and down between the pyramids and the city. Through all of these is a tunnel. Josh had fun going through a lot of them. Marissa and Rachel could fit through this one with Josh.
This was taken from the Temple of the Moon looking at the Temple of the Sun. If you go straight on down the road you then come to the city. It is so big I wish I had a clear picture of that. You don't get a feel how big it is when your down in it but looking from the top of the Temple of the Sun you can see it all. So awesome, you will have to come see for yourself.
