I’m playing with Jusspress.com’s features for webhosting photos. I can’t control the size of the photos, but that does take the pain-in-the-arse resizing step out of my photo postings. These photos are for the post entitled Cancun by Days: Wednesday 9-28-05 posted on 10-6-05. You can still sit your mouse over the photo for the caption.

I left the group and took this photo as the crazy tourguide was rambling on and on.
pyramid with temple in background
Speaking of the crazy tourguide…
he's probably demonstrating how his gods flew over his Mayan ancestors, I dunno.  I wasn't listening.
Getting ready to climb the pyramid (91 steps).
Diana ready for ascension.
Even tho Diana wouldn’t venture out far from the “safety” of the wall, this is proof that she did suck up her fear of heights and was really at the top of the pyramid.

The view from the top was spectacular:
the ballfield

the Temple of 1000 Columns

don't look down!
I hopped down real quick (mainly to avoid the slowpokes clinging onto the rope while descending on their asses at the speed of .00065 miles per day) to take a photo of Diana’s triumphant descent.
Where's Waldo?  I mean Diana.
My favorite structure at the central quad is the Temple of a Thousand Columns:

peek-a-boo!

I got in trouble for this pose. Apparently the rusty sign has some hidden symbol that allegedly translates to “do not climb.” *shrug*
