Isla Mujeres, MX to Cancun to Chichen Itza

One of the Mayan open air temples

The main feature where the King would appear in the doorway and the beheading
would begin in earnest, hail to the chief

Tranquil now as in the olden days when heads weren't needed

Serpent guards at the ready 

The wall of heads

Native craft for sale fresh from the factory 

Another open air temple 

Serpents yet again 

Supposedly an entrance for only high priests  

A fallen down hall, all the timbers have rotted away leaving what you see 

The same hall without the roof structure that has rotted away

have been scrounged from fallen down buildings in Havana
