|
| Only the king and royalty could climb these steps...we climbed them, anyway... |
|
| Jen 'n' Jess over the acropolis |
|
| The view on top of temple II! |
|
| me on top of Temple IV - the tallest of the temples in Tikal |
|
| I believe this is Chac, the rain god...his mask, that is |
|
| Some cute Mayan children in the village laughing at the stupid gringos taking pictures of them |
|
| The village of Uaxactun |
|
| |
|
| Temple I, Jaguar Temple - this one was off limits to tourists, but it was cool, just the same! |
|
| One of the acropoli in Tikal |
|
| The ball court, where important decisions were made - like, who should be sacrificed! *gulp* |
|
| The shack Andrea and I shared...pretty cozy and the candle tops it off nicely |
|
| Our nice frontyard, complete with outhouses and everything! |
|
| Doc and Andrea being swarmed by the Uaxuctun children to buy a corn doll |
|
| The do-touch museum of Uaxactun - see, Children's Museum isn't the only one! |
|

|
|
| A chiclero hacking at a tree for its sap - gum is made from it, but America uses fake stuff |
|
| On top of a ruin in Uaxactun |
|
| Our Guatemalan guide, Abel, pointing out a pillar for an ancient Mayan ruler, Leaping Frog |
|
| The river next door we couldn't swim in...pbblt |
The very last day, we went to Xunantanich. After passing the border, it was smooth-sailing to the airport. We shared a song that Doc wrote and went on our way home...*sniff, sniff*
|
| On top of a temple in Xunantanich - I think the same one we saw from Margaret's house |
|
| |
|
| The chiclero still working - this time, with a rope around his waist and the tree |
|
| The building on the left is where the sun rises in the summer; right is for winter |
|
| Ah! It's the attack of the rabid coatimundis! |
|
| The Rio Mopan Lodge, right over the border of Guatemala |
|
| The roomies at the airport! So long, farewell, auf weidersen, goodbye, blah, blah...da di da |
