Chichen Itza
Chichen Itza--pronounced like Whitney saying "Chicken Pizza." This ancient Mayan culture had some very interesting beliefs. They were really into numbers, angles, seasons, worshiping war gods and human sacrifice. They were very good at math and science. The way these buildings were orchestrated--let's just say I could never build something like this!
Our Sunday Adventure
It all started when we asked the person at the front desk (Doug's friend Luigi) how to get to the LDS Stake Center in Cancun. When we thought we had the directions straight, we took the next bus headed for downtown.
We finally made it to the LDS Stake Center in Cancun--after getting off the bus, getting lost only to find a Catholic church and then finally flagging down a taxi and squishing the six of us into the tiny car. Thomas had to rush back to the hotel after we got to the church. Montezuma's Revenge was kicking in again.
