Palenque

[pamelonian]

Palenque was a 9-hour bus ride from Mérida.  We stayed in a "hotel" that consisted of cabins in the jungle, actually quite nice.  I have wanted to visit this site since I first saw it in a movie our Spanish teacher showed us in 9th grade.  We used to bug subsequent Spanish teachers until they would let us see the movie again.  It's an Academy-Award

That photo of the skull is gorgeous. You look so happy in your sitting in the shade picture! Yay!

Everything looks so green and lush...*le sigh*

I came out of there reeking of incense and soaking wet, but I was cured of my digestive issues!

AWESOME!

Hey, I saw this place on a doc series James and I have started watching which I think you might also enjoy it. It is called Out of Egypt (although it is pretty global in scope) and it is streaming on Netflixen.
