pyramid pics

So after my 5th attempt I think I might have a winner for a photo card reader. YEAH  I just can't wiggle it- at all :) So here are the pictures when I went to go see the pyramids of the sun and the moon and the avenida de los muertos a couple of weeks ago. Where I guess the god of the sun was mad that I climbed his pyramid because he burned me really bad- and I didn't even notice until I got home- ouch. Oh my gringa skin :(

pyramid video # 2

Teotihuacán video



Still having picture transfer issues but here are 2 videos that I took when seeing my 1st pyramids ever.
In the city of Teotihuacán, constructed by the Teotihuacanos. The city is thought to have been established around 100 BC and continued to be built until about 250 AD. It was pretty freaking cool to say the least.

It looks like it will only let me upload 1 video @ a time so I will publish this one and try to post the next- ahorita
