What a fantastic day. Ted and I drove to Chichen Itza today. It was a long drive (about 3 hours each way), but completely worth it. Right before Chichen Itza we stopped in a tiny town called Piste for a very delicious lunch. After lunch we were ready to explore Chichen Itza.

Picture #11: It's really hard to express how impressive and beautiful El Castillo is. We could not take enough pictures. This is our last view of El Castillo as we were leaving Chichen Itza and just seconds before the sky opened up and poured rain.
