I've been to Chichen Itza. It's an amazingly cool place.

Too true! Got to the top of the pyramid and it was breathtaking. Sadly, I had no notion of how I was going to get down.....a much scarier process! Glad these guys just went a few steps for the photo shoot.

I've been to Chichen Itza and the ruins are beautiful. Why don't we export some illegals from the U.S, and finish excavating and restoring these ruins. This place could certainly be more beautiful that many of the "Wonders of The World."

Mexico could start some real expensive 5 Star Hotels, Condos, etc. around this site and vastly improve the State of Yucatan.

Soon it will be

Bush visits Mexican Ruins in America.

I went down on my ass, one step at a time, like a big scaredly cat.

I saw other tourists strolling down those narrow slippery things like they were at the mall. People forget - when you're in a third world nation, there's no ambulance waiting on call to whisk you to a world-class medical facility with top-notch surgeons and cat scans and such.

When you bust your skull open like a melon, there's some old lady on call with herbal paste and a monkey paw.

Hey GW )Guest Worker) Bush, when you are done selling us out to the Mexican Mafia, come home and view the American Ruins.

I visited Tulum in Mexico and it reminded me of the old cheap Indian tourist traps from back in the 60's. The weather was hot as hell the beggars were everywhere and so were the large lizards. The actual ruins were small and very disappointing.

[BlueAngel]

I wonder if President Bush is staying at a hotel or private home.

[trimom]

Uhhhh, any chance you were wearing white cotton shorts and a red t-shirt? The other woman scooting down that way next to me was dressed that way.....my husband was laughing his keester off and snapping photos.

But he didn't even attempt to climb the danged thing, I might add! My 14 year old ran up and down those steps like she was in a hallway, for crying out loud!

"Five more! We've got room for five more for the trip home!"

"I have had enough of this outsourcing, Im moving to India"

Better yet, let us move to Mexico and take over that shit hole. Not a bad climate, Tecate Beer and Jose Cuervo Tequila. Hmmn, where is a good illegal border crossing to sneak into Mexico.

HE'S SELLING US OUT TO THE MEXICANS!!
...




How much is he getting for us?
I need this info desperately.

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

Ditto, I am getting damnable tired of the (G)uest (W)orker's apologists on the immigration thing.

[tertiary01]

He's checking out the terrain so he and his fellow OBL's can estimate how much it will cost to turn Mexico into the Western Hemisphere equivalent of the UAE resorts international, complete with ports and energy supply. Maybe he will get to be elected el presidente again.

At this point we need to ignore his words and follow his actions.

The actual ruins were small and very disappointing.

That is not the case in Chichen Itza. It is an astonishing place.

[jpl]

Chichen Itza is a pretty cool place.

And in Civilization IV, building it gives you a +25% defensive bonus in all your cities.

[Coop]

Hey, can you take over for me soon on the hysteria thread? My poor widdle fingers are cramping up. (Do you think I should complain to the mods?!?)

[GeorgefromGeorgia]

I agree Chichen Itza has many well preserved Mayan ruins and is well worth a day visit. There is a ball field there when they played something like basketball (no running with the ball) and the losers (they think) became sacrificial victims.

[BossLady]

LOL! True!

Was thinking....Why don't we just buy Mexico for a few million pesos and get it over with? :o

[onyx]

Sorry (pronounced saw wee), I don;t think I can handle the hysteria thread by my own selfie. Have a kool aid break. Hmmmmm, refreshment.

[Finalapproach29er]

don't underestimate" his ability to wring from Congress a guest-worker program that would address some of Mexico's concerns
