Estado de Mexico

Bright and early after our return from Oaxaca, Sagrario (a Partner contact turned friend), her pareja, Pablo, and friend Hector (the Pis), took Paula and I out of the city to a Centro Ceremonial. An hour or so out, in the Estado de Mexico (the district bordering the Distrito Federal, aka Mexico City), this ampitheatre was built on holy land by the government for indigenous ceremonies. It's appropriately located in the mountains overlooking the city of Toluca. It was a nice, relaxing trip on narrow, poorly paved roads through nature (a rare sight in the city). After a rough day of taking in scenery, we went to Pis' house for a Sunday bbq.

Here's a quick glimpse of the sun statue (and of me and Paula) and a view from the stands.
