Today we traveled to Guatemala to tour one of the largest Mayan ruins. When we were picked up that morning we rode in this bus/truck thing that had airport seats drilled to a truck bed. That was an interesting experience. Once getting through the border and heading towards Tikal we were able to see the country side of Belize. There were so many cows and oxen things. Also there were a plethora of horses that meandered about the side of the road. I was really scared that we were going to hit one.
After about an hour/hour and a half ride we finally reached Tikal. The forest was magnificent and the wildlife was stunning. We hiked our way up a road to visit the first site. We learned about their ceremonial chambers, pyramids, and culture. The best part of the park was the huge pyramid that we were able to climb. I believe it was over two hundred feet tall. Overall it was a very interesting experience and trip.
