Thank you Samuel for a great tour!!

Tikal



I could totally picture people gathered here to hear Christ teach.  An amazing feeling!


We went to a "zoo" while in Tikal area...these monkeys were very friendly!

Still looking beautiful after hiking a huge pyramid (still covered in dirt, grass and trees). But they swear it was a real pyramid and not just a ploy to make us get in shape:)

The following are really old artifacts that we saw in a "museum".  Can you believe they told us to take pictures of them and that we could even touch them!!  This would never have happend in the US:)




This piece was hundreds of pieces that they glued together.  They didn't even have it in a case!  Amazing that they could find all the pieces!


Thank you for a wonderful tour!
(I COULD NEVER REMEMBER THE NAME OF OUR TOUR GUIDE...SORRY)
