Tikal

Hello! Just got out of a week in the jungle! It was hot! Before I left I went for a sunrise tour of Tikal....Some old ruins that have been copletely uncovered...a whole city! They told me the bus would come by around 3am to pick me up, and ofcourse it was at 3:45! After a 1.5 hour uncomfortable ride we got there and hurried through part of parc and climbed alot of stairs! The view was great and the sunrise too!

Our guide grew up in New York so his English was perfect and he knew alot! Showed us some animals, including monkeys, here's one.... They were atually swinging through the trees!

Here are some of the ruins...i enjoyed being there but I didnt get much sleep the nigh before and it was hard to stay awake! All the pyramids are completely filled in, solid blocks of lime stone!

Here's some fruit on the ground! and a giant tree that has passed on to tree heaven!
