Chichen Itza

 It was hot enough to fry an egg on my head.  The distances from each structure was flat, treeless and unrelenting sun.  Time - about high noon.

 This structure was completed by the Toltecs.  Very reminiscent of Tula in the State of Hidalgo.  If you haven't ever been to Tula - GO.

 WHO came up with this idea?  WHO?  Nowadays some architect would have a rendering on a set of plans and a contractor would have said "Are you crazy?  You want a snake HOW LONG?  WHERE?  REALLY?

 Then cost overruns must have run rampant.  Can you imagine how many carvers it would take to complete a wall this long?  Incredible.

 About now I was plotting my escape.  Sweat was running down my face and I really didn't care one bit what that building was, its purpose or any other pertinent information.  I wanted cold water and a chair in the shade.  I turned............

 And this was the scene I saw.  Everyone else wilting also.  I made a fast escape, found a bench in the shade and said to myself if there is anything else I want to know or see, I'll read it on the internet and not die of heat stroke. 
No wonder the Mayans abandoned these sites for the Highlands - it was too darn hot!
