Hola,
Yesterday we had an amazing day of ruins. We toured a temple that is 11 square miles made from adobe from 100-800 A.D. It's truly an amazing piece of architecture! We also toured a pyramid (Huaca de la Luna) currently under excavation where in the last two years they have discovered art and new rooms to this temple. There is another temple next to it that has yet to begin being excavated but was occupied three hundred years longer than the one we toured. Definitely a place worth looking into in ten years!
Today our two Canadian friends, whom we've been traveling with since the Mexico City airport, and Hank woke with upset stomachs. Fortunately, we had a lazy beach day planned but that too was rained out. So, we sit in our cozy hostel, Casa Suiza, and enjoy tea, movies and leisurely naps. Just what they needed!
The pictures are from the ruins where we saw art from ~100 A.D., Hank at a temple from roughly the same time and a Peruvian hairless dog. These dogs were almost extinct but have become under state protection and are now the mascots of any ruin visited. This one is particularly punk rock!
Stomachs permitting, we will head north tomorrow and hope to have more details and pics to follow.
Love to all and already missing you and Huevos Rancheros!
xoxo, Hank and Daisy
