Off to the Jungle

WARNING: Turkeys ahead!
After all the adventures and hard work in the Polochic, it was off to the jungle to see the Mayan ruins in Tikal. Kristin Shuman lives in Florida, and she, Melissa (from California), and I flew out early from Guatemala City in a tiny plane to get there. (Otherwise it was another 13 hour bus ride.)




MUSHROOMS!


 





The flight was quick, and we instantly drove to our little hotel and were off to tour the ruins. The crazy thing about these was that not-that-many-people go there. Like, there really aren't a lot of rules. Like you can walk up almost everything. And you can touch the hieroglyphics. If you go through the effort to climb up the temple to see them, which almost no one did. It was all so crazy, but just incredible to see.
