The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.

February 1990. While in Zihuatanejo, we decided to spend a few days in Mexico City. While there we wanted to spend a day at the ancient ruins of Teotehuacan. We caught a bus out to the site and nearly lost our lives because the bus driver overtook every car in his path regardless of whether there was oncoming traffic or not. Most of the time there was, and if they wanted to live, it was their responsibility to get out of his way. We were most grateful to arrive unharmed, but with a few more gray hairs! "Teotehuacan is a vast Mexican archaeological complex northeast of Mexico City. Running down the middle of the site, which was once a flourishing pre-Columbian city, is the Avenue of the Dead. It links the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Pyramid of the Moon and the Pyramid of the Sun, the latter two with panoramic views from their summits." As described by Google. We had a wonderful day wandering around impressed with the size and complexity of the city. We found ourselves speculating how it must have looked in its day.
