Teotihuacan

I was finally able to check out these pyramids. Man! Were they impressive! At about 200 feet, they certainly won't compare to today's skyscrapers but consider that they were built by hand and you begin to appreciate the years of effort that went into the city. Halfway up the second pyramid, limbs trembling and painfully out of breath, i discovered why the city was abandoned. Who the heck wants to climb up those things several times a day at those altitudes?!!
