Tikal
Eventhough the girls got up at 3:30 am because we accidentally set the alarms by OUR time it was all okay.
Today we took a trip across the border to Guatemala where we saw ancient Mayan ruins. After 3 hours in the vans we arrived in Tikal where we were all able to explore and climb the many temples while learning about the Mayan culture including their sacrificial traditions. From the top we could see all the temples and over all the trees. The steepest ruin was at the end so only the brave and the people who still had some energy climbed it.
While walking back to the entrance of the park, four of us got separated while the others ran ahead. But thankfully we found them at the restaurant…eating without us. We also got to see lots of wildlife like super spider monkeys, a keel bill toucan, pigs, and LOTS and LOTS of cows. Even though it felt like 1000 degrees, we had lots of fun and learned a lot.
