Today is the first day of Spring. Years ago we took our four kids to Mexico at Spring Break. We went to see the pyramid called Chichen Itza.
The vernal equinox is one the major celebrations in Mexico...the first day of Spring. There were probably 150,000 of the “locals” there. And then there was us. We had a great time.
The steps on the pyramid were built at a carefully calculated angle which makes it look like a snake of sunlight slithers down the stairs on the day of the equinox. It was very interesting.
A few years ago, we were there with Dwight and Sheila. We wanted to climb the pyramid and find a geocache in one of the small rooms at the top. We had to wait two days before we were allowed to climb it. We found the cache with no trouble. There were bats in the room and I got in the quano. Yuck. Not a fun experience. But visiting Chichen Itza again was great.
When David came for my physical therapy, he suggested we walk around the block. I did a much better job than yesterday. Today was one of my good days.
