I first visited the Mexican Central Highlands in January 2005. Adele and I spent 6 days at Teotihuacan just northeast of Mexico City. Unfortunately, I did not bring a camera with me because after that trip INAH prohibited people from walking to the top of the Pyramid of the Moon. I returned to this area in October 2010 with my friend and guide Enrique. Together we visited several sites around Mexico City.
I found these sites challenging. At all of them the inhabitants practiced human sacrifice. At some temples, they sacrificed infants and buried them under each corner of the pyramid or temple. I felt that the energy at these sites was harsh and abrasive, a dramatic contrast to the gentle peaceful energy of the Mayan sites.
