On Saturday we went to the town of Dzibilchaltún to see the temple of the 7 dolls. The name was so long we couldn’t get it all in the photo.
We started by going out for a great breakfast. Our waitress was super friendly and spoke great English. When she asked my name I said “Soy Sher” which in Spanish means I am Sher. I shorten my name since they never can pronounce it. For whatever reason she thought my name was Soysher and no matter how much I tried could not explain it.
There was the temple and a bunch of other ruins.
It was “cooler” than it’s been but still 99 degrees, a little too hot for walking around in the sun.
This was steep. Jeff ran up it. I went up on my hands sort of crawling. I wish I had potholders. The stones were hot.
The view was great from the top.
I went down on my butt. Could have used a butt pot holder.
Jeff went up ahead while I enjoyed the bench with a palapa
There was even a cenote. Unfortunately it was not open for swimming anymore.
The temple is named after the seven clay dolls they found in the temple. The website said the dolls were on display in the museum. I dreamed of that air conditioned museum the entire time wec were out there.
Turns out the museum isn’t built yet. Not sure where those dolls are. Where are those seven dolls? They are probably in someone’s living room.
It was a hot day, but fun and only a 20 minute Uber ride from our apartment. Looking forward to going back when it’s twenty degrees cooler.
