At the top of the Sun!

I happily arrived at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun. The climb included flat spots along the way, which allowed us to rest and catch our breath. As the climb became steeper, thank you inclined planes!, there were cables covered in plastic to hold onto and pull us up the steps.

In the background you can see the Pyramid of the Moon. The three of us pictured here are the members of this group that represented Illinois! I was the only teacher, but both Mrs. Sanford (Miss Aggie) and Mrs. Arvia a master gardener from Frankfort, Illinois enjoyed learning together about the culture, the people and the butterflies of Mexico!

The actual top is a mound of stones. Once we reached the flat platform area, we jumped up on the stones and climbed the last few steps. It was certainly the most awesome thing I have experienced in my life! What a view!
