The Yucatan 2003 - Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins

Here's a 10 minute video summary of our 2003 Tour of the Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins in Mexico's Yucatan coastal region. We really enjoyed the trip, but visiting these popular ruins is like going to a Mayan Disneyland. The place was flooded with tourists. It would be nice to go sometime when it's less crowded and take a two week long self-guided tour of the sites. There's really too much to catch in just a few hours. Next time we go, we'll be sure to shoot more video of ourselves in addition to the sites. Barbara did make a cameo appearance in this one though. You'll notice her in the early stages of the stair sequence before we ascend up to where the sacrificial altars are. BTW - John thought that the jaguar with jade eyes and spots was pretty cool.
