What's That? Itza Chichen-Itza!

Ever since the Nike commercials of the 1980s featuring the athlete who ran up the stairs of the pyramid of Kukulkan, the Traveling Alpaca wanted to visit Chichen-Itza (http://www.internet-at-work.com/hos_mcgrane/chichen/chichen_index.html). Sadly, the stairs have been closed to the public since 2001 due to the enormous wear, but the grounds surrounding the former Mayan temple are still open to the public.
