If you go to Chichenitza, and that is really a must visit site, be sure to check out a small area near one of the non-descript stone buildings which has stone reliefs of all the known animals in the jungle — your guide will know where this is -— on one panel you will see what looks very much like a horse... which as you know was not know to be in the Americas at that time.

Been to Chichenitza once to see the serpent come down. Clouds messed it up at the very last minute. Would love to go again but not with the current violence in Mexico. The local crafts on sale at the solstice are worth the trip if nothing else.

Cozumel has a small stone temple or two that legend has was an early warning for hurricanes as it supposedly started making a loud sound when the wind got to a certain speed.
