Too hot, too crowded, and too small?

(dated July 22, 2007)

After almost 400 km of driving, we arrived Chichen Itzá to pay a visit to the infamous mayan shrine, which was just recently voted as one of the new 7 wonders in the world. Honestly, it was not as impressive. I expected it to be more ‘marvelous’, well, at least, bigger and higher. Couldn’t help myself ranting that Angkor should have been chosen instead. Poor papi, had to put up with my complaints on top of the heat (37˚c), the humidity, and the crowd. Yet, I must thank to the mayan god for the trip…if it weren’t for the pilgrimage to the ruin, we would not have been ‘restored’.
