First coach is for checked luggage, the second one is this seater car. It was empty and locked but with the lights on the entire way I think. Then the sleeper cars.

Lounge cars with WiFi on each side of the dining car, followed by, well, the other half of the train. At some stations we would stop twice, first for the sleeper, then for the seated cars.

My sense of humour: bus number 777 takes us to the casino. Walking away from the bus stop (or out of the casino after losing all your money...?) seems to be unthinkable.

When in Mexico, try crickets, here on guacamole.
And, more mainstream, ask for "Agua del Día".

Peek!
The concrete reinforcement reaches from the foundation slab all the way up through the next higher ceiling and a bit further. This is more complicated to build, but helps to make the building earthquake resilient.

Which list of world wonders are you refering to? The one from the NewOpenWorld Foundation lists Chichén Itzá, but not Teotihuacán. However, it is a very impressive site indeed.

@serac so I’ve always been curious about this: do you need to pick off any bits (exoskeleton, legs, antennae) or do you just eat everything?

No need to take it apart. All together, in this case on a chip with some guacamole, and hop :-)
