Mexico City 2002

In December of 2002 My partner Jim and I went to repair a machine in Mexico city. We had a few days to look around and here are some of the pictures we took.

 


Jim and I get our picture taken at the customers


Jim with his new Buddy our tour driver! Jim and I must have liked him because when he was always asking for more money we gave him everything he asked for.

 


Here is the center of the city with the cathedral in the background. Notice the Christmas tree this was taken on Dec. 12 


Here was the best part of the tour! The pyramids of the Mayan empire! This is called Teotihuacan these people ruled from 200BC to 750AD. The road in front is called the road of the dead!

 
I can think of two reasons the road was called the road of the dead! If you were a virgin on your way to be sacrificed you would soon be dead! or if you were just going to climb to the top of the pyramid like I did by the time you got to the top of the pyramid you are half dead like I was!
