Fun with New Friends

For the past week, we had a group here from Nashville. We made 28 new friends...had an absolute blast! Katie and I had so much fun hanging out with you guys and you will definitely be seeing us around!

First, we went to some Mayan ruins. This was eye opening for me. Standing there looking at the remains of a city from the 1500's - wow. The Mayans had some weird traditions. There was an altar in the center where a young girl would be sacrificed every year. A guy would cut out her heart and run it up the stairs to the king before the heart stopped beating.



Katie standing on the altar. Behind her you can see the stairs the guy would run up.

The bathroom signs at the ruins.

The women's (mujeres) bathroom...no there wasn't a door.

I have a ton more to post. Expect at least one post for day for a while. One week from today I will be home - scary.
