Keith and I had a fun adventure this weekend - on Saturday we went to two local archeologial zones. Apparantly, there are over 2000 in Mexico, which is more than any other country. We actually got lost trying to find one, but ended up backtracking and seeing a site about 1.5 hours north of Toluca called Huamango, which I knew we passed on our drive to Toluca from Michigan. Here are a couple pics...
The original inhabitants of both of these places are unclear, but they were constructed in early 900 AD, and evenutally taken over by the Aztecs (or, Mexicas..pronounces me-shee-cas). Pretty cool places, I would say!
The second place was only 10 miles north of Toluca, and its name is Calixtlahuaca. VERY COOL! Theres something kind of mystical about these places, they're arrangment and the feeling!
