Chechen Itza-Sept 26 12

 

 

Non Riding Day…….up at 8 am gathering our dirty laundry, my damp cloths have been in a dry sack  for a few days and the smell was enough to knock you out…LOL Landeria 1KG 60 pesos

Then we hired a taxi to take us to the Chechen Ruins…30 pesos. We had to purchase 2 tickets totalling 157 pesos each to gain entry. Unfortunately for me I found this site much lss spectacular than Tijan near Papantla. The commercialism is both inside and outside the grounds. 1st view ahead of the crowd  the main temple another angle pillars that extend for hundreds of feet and would have had a peaked thatch roof, possibly a second story and likely was a market area….main square alter 1 side of  the ball court in which the winners would lose their head, considered an honour…..should add this clause to the new NHL contract…….would free up some cash on the cap, Mr Bettman venders and more venders……….. this is a well that is at least 150 feet in diameter and about 70 feet deep with 20 feet of water and is at the end of a built up road in the previous pic which is 1/4 mile long.
