ReplyDeleteGo to the Toltect capital, Teotihuacán, north of Mexico city. Climb the tallest pyramid. Look south(?) down the a Avenue of the Dead.
It will be just as good or better than Giza. You won't wind up on the wrong side of the law in a Muslim country.
I think you will get a high from doing this.
