Ruins











Some shots of the Mayan ruins we toured around at for 4-5 hours. You could spend days and it is more interesting than I thought it was going to be. Got to climb the 2nd tallest pyramid in the world. this city was 16x16miles and had 5 temples and all sorts of other things. I found it interesting that in the living quarters of the rich they found no kitchens or toilets. Anyway here are a few shots. A smaller temple. The ritual grounds where they would have human sacrifices on the round stones and the stairs that lead to the ones you can climb just so you can see how steep they are.

It's a beautiful country. It's hard to imagine how old it is because NZ hasn't got that much history in comparison. Sad with all the oppression re the people. I guess it's another case of the 'rich get richer and the poor get poorer'.
