A Hot Time in the Old Town

…In the pink at Chichen Itza

We made it to Chichen Itza, Temple of the Maya Gods or UFO Landing Site depending on what conspiracy theory you believe. The area surrounding the temple has a stone plaza that has been covered in dirt and planted with grass. The overhead sun heats the underlying stone and before you can say “Easy Bake Oven” you have toasted tourists. A well-timed mango Slurpee saved us from perishing at the Temple of Doom.

Pro Tip: Find the Slurpee Concession before noon or you’ll be standing in a queue of crabby people. If you don’t find the slurpee concession you will die!
