As you can tell, these pictures are LARGE, and I have only editted a few (so far). There are about 800 pictures. Yes, 800 pictures. You have to go to page 20 just to get to the start of the Guatemala pictures. So hang in there, if you want to see them all.
On occasion, you will see my walking stick in a picture. This is to provide some scale to the object shown. My walking stick is 48 inches or approximately 1.2 meters long. Here are two photos to show you how big it is.

And now, the adventure begins...
Well, I made it to Mexico City. The pictures you see below were taken at the Zocalo, or town square.
The ruins are called the Templo Mayor, or Great Temple. It was discovered during some excavations to build something else here. The Templo was one of the main centers for the Aztec, or Mexica, Indians living in the valley of Mexico.
To add a bit of scale to this picture, you can see my shadow to the left of the serpent head.
One of the Indian dancers working for tips in the Zocalo.
The flag in the middle of the Zocalo is VERY big. The check the scale, look at the person at the bottom of the pole.
Here are some pictures of the Basilica de Guadelupe & the miraculous painting of the Virgin Mary. This is in Mexico City.
These are a couple of street signs in Mexico City.
