Pictures of Mexico Part II

[puddingdale]

Here we go again: my threats become true and you get to see a little more of my travel through Mexico. This time I chose Cholula and Monte Alban mainly.

That is way too interesting! Did you bring some incense for Christmas? The church on the top of the pyramid at Cholula has a nice colour. The house my former husband and I had has been painted like that by us.
The cactee with the 32 year old tourist in front is imposing. ;)
Monte Alban reminds me of the places of archeological excavations I've been visiting in Greece.

...the man was not captured... [uninportant??] ... may I decline to answer this question??!!

Thanks for the nice trip. Looking forward to seeing more.

Oh yeah, yellow - people in hot countries use much more friendly colours than over here. Though we need them more in that climate. So, you must have had a beautiful house.

Yeah, you do not have to answer. We all know the answer anyway, don't we? ;) Of course, had Alan Rickman lived in the time of Toltecs, the stone might have looked a little different...
No, I have not just said that. Sorry, Mr. Rickman - bad joke at your costs.

[puddingdale]

Exactly why I wrote them down *rofl* Hope you know who is the tourist and who is the cactus though ;)

*LOL* - Had you HUGGED that one, the difference might have become less obvious... thinking of Wilhelm Bush...

[puddingdale]

I am not green, though.

WOW - again really cool. Did you always want to see Mexico? Have you been to the States?

[puddingdale]

No, I had no idea that I needed to see Mexico. It was not on top of my list. But I am glad I took the offer - what a country!

And I have never been to the States, either. Not sure if I am interested any more. I think first I have to see Australia or Russia :)

[kristine00]

Yes, it is not on mine either. However, I would love to visit the sites that you did.

Well if you change your mind, do come to CA and visit. ;)

[puddingdale]

Many people seem to make the mistake and only visit Mexico to lie at the beach...

Anyway, where exactly do you live? :)

[puddingdale]

Well, they had a huge working class who somehow had to manage. That was a great culture, when Germanic tribes were still sitting in trees. Sort of.

[me_pirateship]

Slaves, you mean...

[puddingdale]

No, not slaves as in Egypt. Working class.

Those stone carvings are so interesting! And I'm puzzled by the Pyramids - how on earth did they manage to build them?
