He took us in the nearby museum where we got to see this model. It really helped us put everything in perspective. What we actually see when we go to Cholula is the out buildings that are shown at the left of the picture. The pyramid is completely underground. We used to be able to go through a tunnel that had been dug out to view different steps from the pyramid, but the tunnel was closed when we went with Laura because part of it had collapsed when we got a ton of rain, and it needed to be repaired. We were disappointed not to go through it.
Not a great picture of me, but this shows our cute tour guide.
Daniel, Krista, Chiara, Laura, and Rebecca. We were able to climb these steps, but they are not part of the pyramid, but part of an building in front of the pyramid. The pyramid at Cholula is from the same time period, and built by the same people as the pyramids at Teotihuacan.

Krista and the boys at the top of the hill that the pyramid is under. There is an old church on top.
A view from the top. Notice all the churches.
Looking out in a different direction.
That looks like a fun trip and I love that you guys keep finding new things to see and do.
