Welcome to WeeklyWilson.com, where author/film critic Connie (Corcoran) Wilson avoids totally losing her marbles in semi-retirement by writing about film (see the Chicago Film Festival reviews and SXSW), politics and books----her own books and those of other people. You'll also find her diverging frequently to share humorous (or not-so-humorous) anecdotes and concerns. Try it! You'll like it!

Cancun Redux, 2011

Now that I’m back in Chicago in 50-degree weather (and have been since Easter Saturday), here are a few shots of Chichen Itza. Chichen Itza translates to “the mouth of the well of the people of Itza.” The Mayans used to throw their human sacrifices down one well (cenote) and drink from the other. The trip to Chichen Itza is one we made many years ago, when they still let you climb the pyramid.

If you’ve seen the movie “Against All Odds,” you may be familiar with some of these sights of one of the 7 Wonders (new) of the World.

 

 

 

 

Is this meant to represent a lizard or Quetzalcoatl?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The moon, at times, in Mexico, was bright red. This is a beautiful shot.

Now there's somethin' you don't see ever' day!
