Chichen Itza

Hola all, I am really geeking out on all the Mayan stuff in Mexico. Today we visited Chichen Itza, the most famous of all the Mayan sites. It was incredible and apart from the famous 'El Castillo' (The Castle) pyramid in the photo the huge site had loads of different ruins including 'The Temple of 1000 Columns', the stone hoops on walls that are early origins of basketball and an important cenota (Large water filled hole in the ground) that people were sacrificed and thrown into.
We have also moved from Cancun for a few days and are currently staying in Valladolid. This place is much more like the Mexico I expected to see with music playing, busy streets and old, plastered colourful buildings. I can't wait to do some more exploring in the next few days and tuck in to traditional burritos, tacos and fajitas etc.
Did You Know?: The steps on 'El Castillo' plus the platform on the top adds up to exactly 365. The same amount of days in a year! This isn't a coincidence as the Mayans had worked out, by mapping the sun, that there were 365 days in a year and this was an important part of their religion. Clever eh?
