That Governor's Palace is stunning!
Thanks so much.
One correction: the Place marked as in Celaya, real location is at Sayil, Yucatan.
What wonderful photos! I especially like the House of Turtles and El Palacio.
Thank you for the correction; fixed! I've just gone by the captions that come with the photos, and, needless to say, they could be a bit off/out of date... :)
Glad everyone's enjoyed these!!
As a Mexican, I really appreciate these photos... My parents home is close to the Queretaro's Aqueduct so seeing how it used to be is amazing... thanks.
