Spectacular Teotihuacan

Well as some of you may know, I was in Mexico city with my university roomate (Rafael) last week for the Dream Theater concert. Fortunately I had the chance to visit some of the sites such as Teotihuacan and the National Museum of Anthropology (next post). Teotihuacan is huge... I mean its just crazy... at the time the Europeans arrived in the Americas, Teotihuacan was twice the size of London and Significantly biger than Rome. As with all Meso-american sites, all that remains is just a small percentage of what was, but what remains of Teotihucan (even in ruins) is simply incredible. I hope you enjoy the pics.
