Teotihuacan – the greatest city in pre-Hispanic times. Its inhabitants mysteriously disappeared, never to rise to greatness again. This is one of the most famous archeological sites in the entire world, and definitely in all of Mexico. I was really excited to be able to share the experience with Pat O'Brien when he came to visit in February 2007. When we got to the city I was amazed - there was nothing but ruins as far as the eye could see. The sun was KILLER - I burned myself pretty good, including a nice imprint of the strap from the camera bag I was carrying (That you can still see 8 months later).

Climbing the pyramid of the Sun took about everything I had - but the view from the top made it all worth it. When I thought I had no energy left, I said I wanted to climb the pyramid of the Moon - and Pat said he would join me. Keith, Vero and Mauricio decided to forgo the moon and just chill in the shade. I was really happy when Pat decided to climb the Pyramid of the moon with me - it was something symbolic - like rising together to overcome our future challenges. While we were sitting at the top, taking in the view - it was, well, nice.

It’s kind of hard to explain. It’s more than being content, and definitely not complacent. It’s a feeling that’s bordering on amazing, but real enough to not seem like a dream.

It's nice to be sitting in a place that hundreds of years ago warriors and princesses roamed - Nice to be exploring this amazing piece of history. But more importantly, really, really nice to be in a place with the man that brought hope back into my life - to be able to share this unique experience at this amazing place because he encouraged me to go and chase a dream.

Really, its all just nice.
