Chichén Itzá (17)


Source: WTL photographs.
Notes: These photographs were taken when the photographer-professor was leaving Chichén Itzá. A sever tropical storm opened up when he was walking back to his rent-a-car. Other visitors were caught in the storm, too. So he and they took refuge in a refreshment hut alongside the dirt path out of the archeological site. This proves that Yucatán is at least as tropical as Florida. After a beer and a half-hour wait, the storm abated, and he continued walking through the mud, which, after the downpour, was up to his ankles ... literally. Which brings him to the last photographic episode on this tour of Chichén Itzá ...
Comment / hint: According to the Mayas past and present (this belief is very much alive in Yucatán in the twenty-first century), who or what is responsible for rain / Rain?
