I haven't been around for a week because my wife and I were on vacation. We went down to Honduras and Mexico on a cruise. One of the stops was Costa Maya, Mexico, where we went to the Mayan city of Chacchoben. It was amazing. We started out next to this large temple:
Then we wondered around a little more and then went up thirty some large steps, and to my surprise was greeted to the beautiful site of a large clearance with a large temple and several smaller temples. Mind you, this was all raised up and I couldn't even see the temples above from the bottom of the stairs!
These are only some of the pictures I grabbed real fast, and I'll probably upload more as I sort through them (and some pictures from some of the other places we were. I also did a panaramic picture from the top but I still need to combine the pictures.
It was quite a site. I had always wanted to visit some of the ancient Maya civilizations.
It's good to be back!
