T Minus 7

Today, 3 out of the four couples in our group felt well enough for some sightseeing. After our morning shots, we loaded onto the van, and today's driver, Lorenzo along with Tony took us to the Great Pyramid of Cholula, also known as Tlachihualtepel. It's the largest pyramid in the world measuring 1,480 ft x 1,480 feet at the base and 217 ft tall. At a distance, the pyramid looks like a natural hill. In 1594, the Spanish built a church on top of the pyramid, "Church of our Lady of Remedies". The pyramid, which is actually a temple, was built in 4 stages, starting in the 3rd century BC through the 9th Century AD and dedicated to the deity, Quetzalcoatl. If you want more info, Google "Chalula pyramid". Only part of the temple has been excavated. 
The carers (walkies) climbed the hill and visited the church. Photos are prohibited inside, but Dave took some pics outside and of the view from the top. We "rollies" enjoyed drinks in the cool of a cafe'. Lorenzo bought some fried crickets from a street vendor. Dave tried one. He said it was "just ok". I was willing to try one, but they were all gone, by the time we all met together at thecafe'. Maybe I'll get a chance later. After the pyramid visit, we went to a really nice restaurant in Chalula for an early supper. We ate outdoors under the shade of large umbrellas. I wish I had pics from there. It was a beautifully landscaped courtyard with a lovely breeze. 
After our meal, we headed back to the apartments to arrive in time for our evening injection. We are planning another outing for tomorrow in "Old Puebla". There is a flea market there and lots of little shops. I may even get the chance to try a fried cricket. Buenos Noches!
