I can also claim to have climbed all over Stonehenge - a llong time ago now. That too is now roped off.<br /><br />I have to say Chichen Itza is well down on my list of favourite ancient sites in Mexico. Uxma is near the top.Gary Dennesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121466795073130174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-52199295747305040572010-12-09T16:28:12.004-06:002010-12-09T16:28:12.004-06:00That is so neat, Wayne.

Although changing a bit, modern day Mayans have always been treated much as we used to treat the Native Americans. Less than second class citizens.<br /><br />LAB: I climbed El Castillo way back when (before the tourist fell off and died) and I can tell you that I think Uxmal is steeper. Besides climbing up is not the hard part. It's the coming down!<br /><br />Doris: Enjoy both Merida and Uxmal. Both are somewhat magical places.<br /><br />Steve: I'm glad I could stir some memories. I know how it can be with STML!<br /><br />O Robert: What?Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-54368446103125190552010-12-09T13:25:44.543-06:002010-12-09T13:25:44.543-06:00I don't there's any question about that......I don't there's any question about that....<br /><br /><br />O RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-57742541303783924432010-12-09T12:14:21.100-06:002010-12-09T12:14:21.100-06:00This is almost like reliving the experience.

Thanks for sharing photos of the site...it really does look amazing. I actually thought you could still climb the pyramid at Uxmal, but seeing it in your photos, I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to anyway! Scary steep!<br /><br />DorisDorisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35550446.post-11596377145050693932010-12-09T09:08:18.318-06:002010-12-09T09:08:18.318-06:00Amazing!
