Aztec Bar and Grill

At the resort on Cocoa Beach

My Best friend Ray in front of the RESORT

They had a wonderful Mexican restaurant. The food was superb and the happy hour was special.... We enjoyed it so much that we had supper there three nights!

Any way thinking about our time at the beach and this outstanding Aztec Restaurant made me inquire more into the Aztec Nation...

Aztec picture writing.

Aztec were an American Indian people who ruled a mighty empire in Mexico during the 1400's and early 1500's. The Aztec had one of the most advanced civilizations in the Americas. They built cities as large as any in Europe at that time. They also practiced a remarkable religion that affected every part of their lives. To worship their gods, the Aztec built towering temples, created huge sculptures, and held impressive ceremonies featuring bloody human sacrifices. Their empire was destroyed by the Spaniards, who conquered it in 1521. But the Aztec left a lasting mark on Mexican culture.

Amazing culture! However I don't think I would fit in! LOL! It appears their primary reason for going to war was to obtain prisoners far sacrifice!

Interesting reading go here if you would like to learn more about these fascinating Aztec people.

Our cold wave went through last night. Thirty degree lower than yesterday! Will drop to 28* tonight. Makes for a cool Xmas party.

Have a great weekend every one!
