We spent most of the day looking over the site of Teotihuacan, which was inhabited from 100 to 700 AD. It was an enourmous city, with stone structures along both sides of the 5 km long Avenue of the Dead, starting at the Citadel at the south end and ending at the Pyramid of the Moon at the north end.
As we were working our way back to the gate at the south end we were asked by several groups of students to take a survey. This was obviously a school assignment to put together a tourism survey and ask the questions in English. Brenda and I responded to two surveys in good humor, but I must admit that I was perplexed by the question of one young man: "Do you like Mexican women?"

Bob and Brenda - thanks for taking time out to visit these ruins. It must have been a great 'sacrifice' - Ho Ho ! I LOVED these pictures. But shoot, how hot would those structures get in the hot sun?
