The Mexico Pavilion is dominated by a spectacular stepped pyramid which was inspired by various examples of Meso-American architecture from around the 3rd century. Reproductions of ancient carvings, like this one, adorn the pyramid, including a serpent head representing the ancient god Quetzalcoatl.
This is always the first country we visit in World Showcase. No real reason for going to the left, just what we have become used to. Do most people start their journey through World Showcase in Mexico also, or turn to the right and begin in Canada?
Many thanks for your visits, comments, faves and following, most appreciated.

From a scarce CDV album of mexican occupationals made by the studio "Cruces y Campa" in the 1860s. (Enchiladera)
The album contains 40 views of occupations, vendors and marketeers, a portrait of a woman (maybe the owner) and a view of the "three Naoleons". So maybe this album had been brought from Mexico by one of the soldiers of the emperor Maximilian.
