Mexico Trip 2012 - Chichen Itza Ruins

The pyramid of Kulkulkan/Quetzalcoatl. A temple that has become very iconic this year!

Our birthday trip to Chichen Itza! While it has some of the most spectacular and well maintained structures, thousands of ghostly columns, and carvings everywhere... the site was busy with tourists and obnoxious peddlers of souvenirs making jaguar screams.

The serpent's tongue.

Columnata Oesta.

Templo de los Guerreros.

Columnata Norte.

There are so many carved stones just laying around this site.

Jaguar, eagle, and snake.

This building overlooks the ballcourt (which we didn't get to see since we were made to leave for closing).

The top of the tower overlooking the ballcourt.

El Castillo, as the sun sets.

Guillo el Gigante y su Castillo. (Rick the Giant and his castle.)
