Chapter 323: Returning from the Place
This stone pillar is called the Thousand Pillars Forest, originally supported by a wide roof, it seems that the commercial center of the year is about 5 o'clock to close the garden, look at the time is already more than four o'clock, hurriedly go to the depths In fact, the things of each stall are the same, everyone must also "learn from each other", so as for which one to buy, look at the edge!
I bought a small Xiaoice box sticker, as long as I saw this dress falling at the beginning, I really wanted to buy it, I especially liked this embroidery, and then I thought that I wouldn't wear it after I bought it, and then I saw the aunts wearing these skirts, and instantly dispelled the altar with a lot of thoughts. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Xueluo's focus is only on the pyramid of Kukulkan, so the rest, I don't pay much attention.
Liu Jingshu saw an aunt curled up under the tree embroidering seriously, unlike other vendors who had a stall, she carried a bag alone and immediately bought a small handkerchief from her. Sometimes a small help may bring a lot of joy to people, "You, yes, say you, take out the money, or the snow will sting you!" This embarrassing face is really funny the more you look at it.
Finally bought one and left. After Xueluo and Liu Jingshu returned to the United States, they went to their friends' houses as guests, almost every house had a thing of this kind on their own, and finally there was a new trick, the blue mosaic-like mask was so good-looking, and the craftsmen kept carving, and the locals here must have someone in every family who had this craft, after all, in this kind of tourist destination that will not decline, there is this craft.
Not to mention making a fortune, at least you can support your family The entire Mayan ruins are very large, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked around it for a while and returned to the main square Xueluo is the largest stadium in the Mayan ruins. In ancient times, the Mayans played football here, and the winner was honorably presented to the altar. This sacrificial culture is so brutal.
Xueluo and Liu Jingshu The ancient emperor of the country loved to pull people to accompany them to the funeral, but they only did evil when they died, and this Maya was good, and from time to time a living person would be sacrificed. The name of the course is GranJuegodepelota, and I heard that if you talk at one end of the court, the people standing at the other end of the court can hear it very clearly.
After all, you still have to pay attention to whitening on this hot day. I found the most hats, and the proprietress was very enthusiastic to help Xueluo try them on. But after choosing for a long time, I can't pick out the good-looking one, so I have to buy a hat brim wide one for shade, but the hat brim is wide either because the color is ugly, or there is a bow on it, how can I bear the snow falling. Yukiro asks her if she has one without a bow.
She was particularly surprised, "Oh my God! Bows are so cute, how can girls not like bows?" "What do you mean? If you can't buy what you like, then you won't give in!" Countless tour buses stopped at the door came out of the Mayan ruins, and Snow Fall has been thinking about one thing: in some travelogues.
When they come out of the ruins, they buy a roast chicken. However, Xueluo didn't write down the address and store name, so he remembered that he was on the way. So Xueluo and Liu Jingshu opened their eyes wide to find the roast chicken, and they really saw a shop from afar on the road! Park the car aside and eat the roast chicken! Do you see the chicken hanging in the upper right corner of the picture below? Although you are a roast chicken restaurant.
There is no need to hang a hanging plastic*** Some people may feel very unclean, Xueluo also feels very unhygienic haha, but what is hygiene in front of deliciousness! The barbecue on the street in Chongqing is from a snack to a big one, and Xueluo and Liu Jingshu's "Dragon Country Stomach" is very strong! The chicken has no salt taste, the original flavor is very fragrant, and the boss also served pasta to Xueluo and Liu Jingshu.
It's not very tasty, and it was handed over to Liu Jingshu to solve the pyramid painted on the wall. The place to eat is really dirty, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu asked the boss to pack the chicken, Xueluo or get in the car to enjoy it~ They are all locals' residences, upstairs is a house, and a small façade below the Yucatan Peninsula Such a broken car can still be on the road, Yucatan Peninsula local drinks are a lot of times.
When you are still thinking about whether to choose diet Coke, some people take it as a kind of happiness to have it - they are not afraid of gaining weight, and when they come out of the pyramids, they will pass through a small town (depending on the size, it should be a town) Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula, snow falls, and sits in the car as usual, waiting for Liu Jingshu to go out to take pictures. Every time the snow falls and Liu Jingshu drives out on a trip.
Whether it's a long distance or an hour or two away, as long as you encounter a small town, a small village, or a building with some characteristics, you will definitely get out of the car and take a photo, no matter how heavy the snow is in winter, no matter what the quality of the photo is, it is sure to leave a souvenir. Before the snow fell, they would say, "What is there to do here?"
But whenever Xueluo needs a photo of a certain place, Liu Jingshu can immediately find it for Xueluo, Xueluo lets him take a picture of the Yucatan Peninsula, the advantage of a small camera is this, no matter when and where, you can take it Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula, Yucatan Peninsula, and then Xueluo and Liu Jingshu are heading towards it, almost a road to the end.
It's not as good as the road from Cancun before. This section of the road is very narrow, and sometimes a wider car comes from the opposite side, and the snow feels like it will be rubbed. Along the way, you will pass through countless small villages, and every time you see it, it will be very overwhelming to see that you enter the village - because there are countless speed bumps waiting for you for almost an hour to get to Hamptoninn.
Hamptoninn is owned by Hilton and can be found everywhere in the United States. When I rented a car at that time, I only sighed at the kindness of the guy, and told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that they didn't need GPS, yes, they didn't need it from Cancun, but they needed to enter the city later. Luckily, we still have the almighty googlemap!HamptoninnMerida front desk staff are very friendly.
I wanted to eat fruit in the evening, so I went and asked for two apples and bananas, which were not counted in the bill when I checked out the next day. Although HamptoninnMerida is one of the better cities in Mexico (legend has it that many of the big drug lords' families are here because of safety), this 4-star hotel is only about 50 dollars a night.
I especially like the cloth sofa in the roomEvery time before a trip, Liu Jingshu will go to the library to borrow a book about the history and culture of the destination, and this time is the same. Later, he thought the book was good, went to Amazon to buy the electronic version of the book, and saw that the introduction above was "recommended Mexican reading for American students".
Hahaha HamptoninnMerida was hesitant to come before the exotic and folklore coexisted, because after all, it takes more than four hours to drive back to Cancun, and there are many other interesting Mayan ruins in Yucatan, such as pyramids that can be climbed and huge natural caves. But in the end, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu still came.
Just because I want to see the authentic Mexican colorful little houses (in fact, I thought about flying to Mexico City and Guanajuato before the snow fell. But there is not enough time). AFTERWARDS, BOTH OF THEM FELT THAT THIS WAS THE BEST DECISION FOR THE TRIP! HAMPTONINNMERIDA DROVE TO THE CITY CENTER TO THE FAMOUS PASEOMONTEJO AVENUE.
Found a far place to park. Xueluo and Liu Jingshu searched along the side of the road for a long time and didn't find the meter, and wondered if they didn't have to pay the parking fee, but they happened to meet a Mexican, and he told Xueluo and Liu Jingshu that there was a line drawn on the side of the road, and the white line was okay to park, and the yellow line was not to park. I see.
The Yucatan Peninsula Road meets a restaurant with beautiful paintings outside. It seems that the pyramid is really a god-like existence in the hearts of the Yucatan people, and here is another introduction, it is the capital of the Yucatan state, and it is also the largest city in the Yucatan Peninsula, 35 kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico. The surrounding area was abundant in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Tequila henequén and prosperous, during this time, a large number of wealthy people came to settle down, all of them built their mansions on Paseo de Montejo (where Xueluo and Liu Jingshu had just parked). Patria Monument, built in 1956, in the neo-Mayan style.
There are many hotels on the boulevard, all of which are four or five stars, but the price is not expensive, they all look very good, it should be the concentration of the best hotels in the area, this avenue is the masterpiece of the urban designer in the 19th century with reference to the Champs-Elysées in Paris, with a strong colonial style.
Not to mention, it's a bit like continuing along Paseo de Montejo, a long walk to the old place where Mexico often sees snack trucks, and it feels like the bags of puffed food are like the monkeys in our zoo, with so many peppers and sauces.
Snow falls is too afraid to try the mansions of the wealthy of the time, which are still intact on both sides of the avenue, but only a few are privately owned, and most of them have become banks, museums, companies or restaurants. Every Sunday, the avenue is closed to allow families to ride their bikes on the sidewalks on the street.
I saw an old man turning over something there from afar, and walked in to take a look, Mom, it turned out that he was counting money, this seems to be a museum about art, walking on this avenue, if you ignore the people passing by, you really don't feel that you love to shine people's shoes wherever Liu Jingshu goes in Mexico.
Occasionally stray a little off the main road and Mexico's true face is revealed. During the day, there is no business in the restaurants on the street, but at night they are very lively, oh, the pink façade is a weapon to attract girls, and finally to the end of the avenue, passing a small square.
There are more and more people, approaching Christmas, naturally there are Christmas decorations everywhere, a map is inserted here, Xueluo and Liu Jingshu walked over, the avenue is the top "14", and the middle circle of numbers is concentrated in the old place, as soon as you enter the old place, the whole person is excited.
"Wow, little yellow house", "Wow, little green house", "Wow, what a cute retro car" said that Xueluo has always wanted to modify the tattoo on the back into such a dream net It is Christmas Eve at night, everyone comes to the street to buy things, a bit like Xueluo and Liu Jingshu buying New Year's goods~ There are many people.
The police naturally have to pay more attention to the Beetle, and I really haven't seen any other classic cars, you can collect 7 colors to summon the dragon The Beetle is really a small church with a red exterior wall on the road one after another, and the plan of the city is square and neat, and except for the main road, the other blocks are very similar.
It's easy to get confused, tourists are a major form of sightseeing here, and it's very happy, because this is what Xueluo and Liu Jingshu want to seeMexico is one of the cities with the lowest crime rate in Mexico, so whether it is a rich local businessman or an American, they like to retire here, and the bypass road is generally a local person, and the main road is crowded with a large number of tourists.
Tourists are mainly Europeans and Americans, at first look at this yellow building, think it is very beautiful, and go in, only to find that it is the University of Yucatan-branch, inside is a Spanish-style courtyard, the weather is particularly hot, I happened to meet a fruit seller, want to buy bags of oranges, and feel that it is too troublesome to carry it, walk through a delicate small square, next to a church.
At first, Xueluo always thought it was a cathedral (the appearance is a bit similar), and then I checked the information, it is called Iglesia de Jesus, (the 10th position of the map posted on the snowfall), the history is very long, built in the 16th century Xueluo and Liu Jingshu did not go in to visit, but it is said that the inside is very beautiful, so the interior decoration is hand-painted to look carefully.
This colonial-style church, there are some Mayan-style carvings on the exterior wall, and some of the original buildings are made of stone from the former Mayan temples and pyramids that are gradually approaching the most central part of the building, which is already riotous enough, and there are so many bright blankets, God must have made Mexico: red here, yellow here.
It seems that the color is too warm, let's have some blue, isn't it a little bright, let the snow fall to change it, mom, I can't change it, I'm angry that the snow is falling - a handful of paint plates! I see a beautiful woman, huh? It seems that something is wrong? This green wall is actually the Governor's Palace, because the snow has not seen any strategies beforehand.
Wandering around is purely blind, so except for the conspicuous church, everything else passes by, and I don't notice it. In fact, there is a beautiful courtyard and some murals in this building. The Doge's Palace turned its head and saw the cathedral, which was indeed better than the two large cathedrals that I had seen before?
They were forced to destroy their cities and religious centers, and to build new cities on the destroyed monuments, using the stones of the original sites, according to the wishes of the Spanish conquistadors. The cathedral was well decorated before the Mexican Revolution. In 1915, General Salvador Alvarado, appointed military governor of the Yucatan Peninsula, arrived.
He implemented many social reforms. One of the things he started to do when he came was to loot and destroy the interior of the cathedral, even using it as his stable. The cathedral is not even as good as a small church in Europe, but it is a landmark. - A Spanish-style Mexican building.
The city is so contradictory and interesting, the cathedral is close to the inside of the church, many locals are praying, and many are looking for a place to sit. But it's really hot, there are so many electric fans, not a single one is running, the cathedral is the only one who walks in and doesn't feel quiet.
