Valladolid and Chichen Itza








The party bus in Valladolid. It seems as though its sole purpose was to drive people around the zocalo (plaza).











The ring where the ball would go through on the playing court in Chichen Itza. No one is exactly sure how the sport was played, but courts like this are found in many Mayan ruins.












I was amazed by the rows and rows of perfectly round columns.














This a skull on a platform on the main plaza where the Mayans made ceremonial sacrifices and executed prisoners.



















"El Castillo" the main temple. It is actually a shell built on top of another temple.
