Tikal, Guatemala

The Mayan ruins were incredible!!!!! Here are some pictures that show the immensity of the civilization. We were allowed to explore anywhere we wanted. This was my favorite part of the entire vacation.







The temple of the Jaguar was in poor shape so we were allowed to climb all the way to the top via this staircase. On the top you were above the jungle and it looked like an ocean of trees.



The bus rides were fun. The villages we passed were so simple. We saw women standing in the streams doing washing, children running naked and swimming in the mud holes, and plenty of livestock on the road.
The plane however was horrifying, I was glad Jim stayed calm next to me. I wanted to kiss the ground when we made it back safely but the policia were escorting us quickly back to the bus. Totally an exciting day!
