The pyramids and I

Dad: this guy reminds me of the never ending story movie you videotaped for me and watched a billion times with me when I was little. I promise I appreciate the figures more than their resemblence to creatures on my favorite childhood movies, I just couldn´t help myself.
The most impressive element to me was the different colors of the stones and the detail work of pressing smaller stones into the mortar. Beautiful.

...
Can you believe it!?!That´s the moon pyramid behind me. I got time to sit and sketch it in my journal. My journal sketches serve as a better reminder of experiences than actual photographs, maybe I´ll take pictures of my scribbles and post them here sometime. Thanks auntie hellen for the fancy scarf/buff wear, I was bound to get an earache from the wind but this kept my ears happy.
Rafa and I on top of the world. It´s a breath taking view looking down from the pyramid and we had already lost our breath hiking up the stairs. So we were especially confused by the people that walked all the way up just to light a cigarette at the top.
