Tepeyahualco
Archeological Site of Cantonac
Not really Donny.
A few thousand years ago near the borders of Veracruz and Puebla states the Contona people created a community of almost 100,000 people. The site is spread over 6 square miles with roads and walkways and temples and more ball courts than any place on the planet. If you're not familiar with the ball game they played fear not. Over the millennium It lost favor as wining and losing was closely tied to living And dying. Anyway, approximately 25 ball courts exist on the site so these guys were into it.
In the end, much like a lot of the people in the area, a great drought wiped most of them out.
We spent a few hours hiking around then ate duck with pistachio mole and stuffed chipotle peppers. Mescal was involved.
