Peace and Quiet

After we visited the Hacienda Yaxcopoil yesterday, we went to see the ruins at Uxmal.  We have been there before, but we wanted to make a comparison to the touristy ruins at Chichen Itza.

In Chichen there are at least 500 vendors situated amongst the ruins and at Uxmal there are none. There are a few stores at the entrance and that was it....no one was calling you to buy something you didn't want.  And, it was so quiet.  How nice!

At Uxmal, you can climb many of the structures and this gives a different perspective of the area.  The main pyramid is off limits, but you can get close to it.

It was a very nice day, one that should have been spent getting haircuts...but there is always tomorrow!

Looks like Colleen is still afraid of any heights.....she couldn't get any further to the edge in that photo. Those ruins look amazing and worth the trip.
