We're finishing up our first day at Mayaland Resort in Chichen Itza. We went on a tour around the resort and visited all of the Mayan ruins. Our tour guide, Juan, dressed in dark sunglasses and a gold necklace. was incredibly knowledgable about his history. I was surprised to learn about Mayan history from his viewpoint.
Turns out, it is unknown if sacrifices actually happened. Although there are skeletal remains and theories about sacrifices, there are little facts to back it up. The tour was a blur and Juan threw so much information at us, I could have listened to him talk for hours.
We wrapped up our tour and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the resort and spending some wonderful time at the pool. No beach, no ocean, and no sand yet, but the pool and sun were amazing! I think I saw the beginning of some tan lines! Jealous? We heard Nebraska was about -40 with wind chill. It was at least 75 degrees here!
We're off to Corazal, Belize were we will be living in apartments. Unfortunately, our bus driver can't take us across the border, so we're going to have to get out, walk across the border, and load onto another bus. Wish me luck!
