Best Bill Clinton likeness: No, this isn't circa '96 and was made by a disgusted Republican who decided to give Bill Clinton breasts and upper lip jewelry. Its circa 700 AD and is meso-american indigenous. Weird eh? Maybe they knew something we didn't.
Most intricate ruins: This is Mount Alba, facing the "kamas" side (this "hill" that Mount Alba is on is between too mountain valleys...one looked a lot like Kamas Valley, the other side looked like Ashley Valley. It was weird. I didn't realize Mexico too looked a lot like home.
Most accurate lesbian wiccan ceremony depiction: Kelli and I hopped onto a tour with a 13-15 year old hispanic soccer team from California in spanish. Before this picture was taken, we went into one of the smaller temples-priests quarters and were very surprised to be shuttled through by a group of 10-15 women and one man. We then went back to watch their ceremony and were even more puzzled than before. There was a lot of mummuring of the word "ummm" and then the two women in charge would take one women, hold her up to the place where there was light coming out and she would look up into the light for several minutes and then they would move her to another place, huddle around her...and then she would hug another lady (or make out with her). We got bored watching it, but then a couple of hours later, we found them right in front of the moon pyramid holding hands and chanting. Gringos are weird.
Best Pyramid Mention in Frida. This is the Sun Pyramid. No crazy ceremonies on top. Just your garden variety tourists. The cool thing about the tourists at Teotihuacan that day is that most of them were spanish.
