College Football and Aztecs Rule Malinalco




A little out of order, but better late than never.  I spent Friday, July 3rd exploring the beautiful town of Malinalco, rich in Aztec history.  As you can see from the pictures, the scenery is gorgeous.  I climbed to the top of the lookout that is home to several ancient Aztec temples (of which one is pictured above).  I think they may have re-created the thatched roof since the 1400's but the rest of the archaeological site really does appear intact.  

Another interesting aspect of Malinalco?  The college football fans.  Pictured above you will see evidence of a true Georgia fan.  Later in the day, I saw a man heading toward the location of this parked vehicle wearing a Georgia hat.  I'm convinced he is the vehicle owner although I couldn't pull out my camera quickly enough to share a picture of the car's owner with you as well.  I also spotted a Mexican wearing an Auburn football hat.  I'm telling you, US college football seems to have traveled long and far.
