This shot taken from the top of the Latin American Building.

Castle Interior

Massive stained glass windows, marble staircases with red carpet runners and so much more to see inside.

Monument of Heroes

Not far from the castle, this monument honors the Heroes of Independence.

On the bus to Teotihuacan Pyramids

Any place to learn English is good. Even on the bus ride to the pyramids just outside of the city.

Our Guide at Teotihuacan

Our guide informed us of the 3 main pyramids and their uses. One was for business and justice, another was the pyramid of the sun and the last was the pyramid of the moon. We are on the main avenue of this 25 square km site.

The Pyramids of the Sun

Gord and I climbed the 365 steps to the top.

Shopping on Every Avenue

We did our final shopping on another avenue. Note the massive pyramid in the background.

A Ride in a Park

We had borrow-a-bike cards. We took Gord and Rita through one of the many parks situated in our area and city.

A Meal at Home

Linda likes to cook, so we stayed in the apartment for our last meal together...... Followed by a few refreshments.

Toby

We dog sit for Terri. He's caught red handed on our bed! He prefers Maurice's side of the bed.
