Another Virtual Trek

I've set off on another virtual walk. This time the location is in Mexico (a place I've never visited - but where I have distant relatives).

I was looking for a hike that was longer than my first one. This one is more than twice the distance. The region is famous for its Mayan ruins, which I look forward to learning more about. 

Interestingly, a few days after beginning my virtual trek, I came across an article on recent Mayan discoveries (in the Washington Post - which I read online.)

I had been undecided about what to do... I wanted to do another virtual walk. It was fun (and educational) - and my daily steps (counted on my pedometer) increased by 30% during the two weeks I was I "walking the Jesus Trail" from Nazareth to Capernaum in Israel. 

When this walk to Chichen Itza came "on sale" (20% off) I was ready - and signed up.

I still have a lot to learn about virtual walking. I didn't take advantage of all that Google maps street views had to offer on my first trek,  so I missed some scenery. This time I plan to slow down and take time for the view, pausing to "look around" as much as I can.

Here I am starting off... in town.

The next day, 15 km into my walk to Chichen Itza, the scenery doesn't look all that different from the road between Ottawa and highway 401!
