Day 6

We started out the day going to explore the site of Yaxha. These ruins were cool. We could actually climb on the ruins. We couldn't resist this picture. Everywhere we went there was the military there to help keep the sites, tourists, and artifacts safe. I told Chad he should have knelt down with his hands behind his head for this photo.

Watch out for monkey poop! Glad I wasn't holding onto the railing!

We were told at this last area we only had time to climb one pyramid. Chad chose this one and I chose a different one. Chad was the only one in our group to climb this one. He was pretty proud of himself.

I had one of the people who climbed with me take my picture, so it would be documented since Chad was on the other pyramid.

Chad then decided to hurry down the other pyramid and climb the one I was on. He pretty much ran up the pyramid. He was the only one in our group to climb 2 of the 3 pyramids.

Our guide told us there were thousands of ruins yet to be excavated in the area. As we flew back to Guatemala City in the afternoon, Chad took this photo from the plane. I think the mounds are a little too uniform not to be ruins. What do you think?

We arrived and will spend the remainder of our trip in La Antigua, Guatemala.
