January 2012 - CHICHEN ITZA RE-VISITED

We make our third trip to the world famous Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza.  This time we plan to spend the night in the nearby village of Pista so we can take in the evening light show.  For more daytime pictures see our previous postings.

Dinner at roadside diner.  Better food then we had at Mireda at a fraction of the price.  However, no beer!  The men had to walk for a mile each way to an OXXO and return with our much needed beverage.  They held dinner for us.
