Reuben in the long, 2-hour process
of crossing into Mexico. Hmmm... all that paperwork seemed
like a bunch of busy-work to me. |
 |
Reubs at the entrance to Kohunlich,
a Mayan archeological site in Mexico that we took the time to
visit and have lunch at. Amazingly, these ruins were discovered
in 1992! THANK YOU Kevin and Adriana! |
 |
Taka, Günther, and Helmut
stop to look into the jungle on the trail into Kohunlich. |
 |
Taka and Günther check the
map at the entrance. |
 |
Kevin and Sergio in the main
plaza at Kohunlich. Francisco and Taka are in
the middle back, and the "Nebraska Coalition" (the Wonderwise
film crew comprised of Terry, Gary and Dan) can
be seen in the far back. |
 |
Reuben checking out the Temple
of the Faces (?). The carvings are actually painted, so they
are carefully sheltered from the sun, and no flash photography is
allowed. |
 |
The temple was built about the time the
Maya were transitioning between worshiping gods and men. This
picture was taken under the sunscreen without a flash. Digital is
great! |
 |
I didn't get a chance to find out what
this structure is because I was too interested in that exceptionally
beautiful tree. Notice how large the steps are I'm standing
on. |
 |
The group takes a moment after lunch to
get oriented and brief on the goals of the coming days in Mexico.
This shot mainly captures Kevin, Sergio, and Adriana. |
 |
Hat and Reubs take a moment
off along a stream of incredibly clear water. So clear that it was
very tempting to drink. Yikes! |
 |
Miniature Hoodoos or "Demoiselles"
(French for young lady as in "damsel"). They're formed
when rain erodes the loose material from around a small rock while
leaving behind the material immediately under the rock to form a column. |
