At a few hundred kilometers altitude, the Earth fills half your sky, and the band of blue that stretches from Mindanao to Bombay, which your eye encompasses in a single glance, can break your heart with its beauty. Home you think. Home. This is my world. This is where I come from. Everyone I know, everyone I ever heard of, grew up down there, under that relentless and exquisite blue.

Mexican Hat, Utah, is named for this rock formation on its outskirts. It looks just like a sombrero and underneath it the rock appears to resemble a human face. The town is very small, population 88, and only 22 households. If you ever go through it stop at the local cafe. The food and service are excellent.
Site of Templo Mayor, one of the main temples of the Aztecs in their capital city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico City.
The temple was dedicated simultaneously to two gods, Huitzilopochtli, god of war and Tlaloc, god of rain and agriculture, each of which had a shrine at the top of the pyramid with separate staircases.
After the destruction of Tenochtitlan, the Templo Mayor, like most of the rest of the city, was taken apart and then covered over by the new Spanish colonial city.
On 25 February 1978, workers for the electric company were digging and at just over two meters down they struck a pre-Hispanic monolith. This stone turned out to be a huge disk of over 3.25 meters in diameter, 30 cm thick and weighing 8.5 tons. The relief on the stone was later determined to be Coyolxauhqui, the moon goddess, dating to the end of the 15th century.
To excavate, thirteen buildings in this area had to be demolished. During excavations, more than 7,000 objects were found, mostly offerings including effigies, clay pots in the image of Tlaloc, skeletons of turtles, frogs, crocodiles, and fish, snail shells, coral, some gold, alabaster, Mixtec figurines, ceramic urns from Veracruz, masks from what is now Guerrero state, copper rattles, decorated skulls and knives of obsidian and flint. These objects are housed in the Templo Mayor Museum.
Tulum, with all its confectioner-sugar sands, jade-green water, balmy breezes and bright sun, makes it one of the top beaches in Mexico.
