Chichen Itza ruins in Mexico - it's like pyramids for the west. (Those Egyptians weren't the only hard workers!)
Most people know my brother is in Mexico, and they usually ask "Why???" For the history of course! Look at that sight - and you can climb right on it - pretend you are a Mayan, dragging that rock straight up to the top. Put on your tribal mask, do a temple dance,... maybe not. (I'd be pulling one of the children up.)
Seriously though, he is very close to Chichen Itza. In a few weeks he will be playing there with Placido Domingo, one of the Three Tenors. (Caroline - is he the other guy???). In the musical arena he's met a few famous people, but Domingo and Chichen Itza...too much for one day.
So, get your tickets now....we can play ball afterwards (there's a famous Mayan ball court there).

What does your brother play? I'm assuming it's not just a "play group" time. (Ha! Ha!) I did kind of laugh when you said he would be playing with Placido Domingo. =)
Seriously, does he travel with an American orchestra, or is he playing in one based down there?
Either way, that's really cool to be able to experience all that history up close and personal.
They have a University down there that he teaches at and he plays French horm in the Yucatan Symphony. (He used to live here so I didn't think to mention that - most people knew him from Prov. )
I really miss hearing him play now that he's in Mexico.
