Reflections in The Mirror of the Ey

I hope to share with you here photos from my personal collection and quotes which reflect how I feel about the subjects. Some of the collection are new and some are old. Most of the photos were taken by myself or my husband, Ricardo Montoya. In the collection there are family photos in black and white. These were taken by various family members.

I hope you enjoy these "reflections" from the mirror of my eye.

(By the way, at the bottom of the page there's a place to leave your "calling card" or, in other words, a shout box. Thanks.)

Chitzen Itza

 I visited Chitzen Itza in the early 1980s. While there I went up into the center of this pyramid. The passage was extremely steep and narrow and ended in a room where there was a panther(?) of onyx. Quite impressive but not for those with claustrophobia!

The second photo is of  the area where sacrifices were  made.  After going up and down this one, I couldn't walk the next day!  Then I learned that you ascend and descend from side to side, not straight up and down.  Live and learn!

You'd think that the folks that built these were smart enough to put escalators :{})! Just kidding these are great photographs!
