This is Storrs and me, Mom, at Teotihuacan, in front of the Temple of the Sun. Storrs climbed all the way up to the top with the other sun worshipers. I walked all the way around the base, and actually saw him up there, the size of an ant. Later we walked to the north end of the Street of the Dead, the main 4 km axis of the ancient city, to see the Temple of the Moon. This is a smaller pyramid, and not climbable to the top, but the view is WOW of the whole site. Since today was a national holiday thousands of Mexicans, with a sprinkling of tourists like ourselves, were out in force. I do like to see "home" populations out and about enjoying their own cultural resources. We had a good time photographing the local population at play against the background of a World Heritage site.
