Trip to Copan Part 3 - Mayan Ruins

You know, I enjoy taking photos of places I visit. But if you really want to see good photos of the actual Mayan ruins at Copan, you'd do better to look up "mayan ruins copan" under Google images. I've just chose a few "we were there" photos from the many David and I took.

When we got there there were no more English-speaking guides available, so we hired a Spanish-speaking one and Laura translated. This gentleman had actually worked as an archeologist in his younger days. At the end of our tour we got him to take this group photo for us.

The place is huge, and they claimed it would take 300 more years of digging to dig it all up.
Do you notice any resemblance?

If you look hard enough, you'll see David being an oaf.

We weren't the only ones there. This flute choir showed up.

There were large stand-alone carvings, huge houses, a stadium, and this convenient place to slit people's throats, complete with gutters to drain the blood away.
