Tikal, Guatemala

Took the bus to Tikal this morning. What an amazing place. Lot’s of Mayan buildings along with plenty of wildlife. Saw a lot of spider monkeys in the trees but they move fast and stay high up so it was hard getting a picture.
Not sure if I’m going to stay here tomorrow or not. My legs are a little sore from all the climbing today. I also need to find someone to fix the zipper on my new shorts. 
Remind me never to buy clothes in Belize again.

Those photos are AMAZING!!! Looks like you’re having a fantastic time there…..very jealous!
What a awesome looking place. I bet that was a neat place to visit. Are there any tourguide people or anyone to tell you some history? Or do you have to just read up on these places? Be careful down there Gringo!
There are tour guides at all of the big sites but I usually skip them and just read about the places online. A lot of buildings also have signs in English so that helps too.

Hi Scott…these photos are incredible! The best I have ever seen of this ancient site. Good job! It’s so good to have you back on the road. I am seeing parts of the world that would have remained a totally mystery for me. Safe travels, friend!
