Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1280 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) This is something I always recognize immediately. This is the Mayan ball court. A better example than what they had in Xunantunich but nothing like the two courts I saw in Coba. I did a deep dive into the game for Coba Mayan Ruins if anyone is interested. They do re-enactments of the game in Cozumel.That’ll be on the list for one of my future trips. Edited March 10, 2022 by Saint Greg 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our current neighbor is in his 70s and his hair is a lot longer and I don't think they realize how it really looks! I am not offended. I am an old woman and I love my husbands hair like that. I love to play with it...whenever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine with me. Our tour included a home cooked meal in one of the towns along the way (not a restaurant). I don't remember if it was optional or not though.

I don't remember if it was optional or not though. And I wasn’t talking about any specific tour. Chicken, rice, beans was offered at both of my Belize Mayan ruins tours and my Dunn’s river falls tour in Jamaica. It’s what I expect for Altun Ha tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can shave a minutes off of it next time now my way around the port. I found the two closed exits before I found the open one. Native Choice can drop you off at the port. They just can't pick you up from there since they're not associated with the port. I couldn't comment earlier, but once you learn how to get out if the maze, it's easier next time. We've done a couple awesome tours with Native Choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1289 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This is the best preserved residential area they have at Kohunlich with many preserved beds and closets. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1290 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This is an example of a stela. It has a person with a headdress on it. It’s broken because people tried to steal it but it was too heavy so it broke when they dropped it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1291 Share Posted March 10, 2022 This is similar to what we saw in San Geriveso in Cozumel used to collect rain water. Looks like it still works. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1294 Share Posted March 10, 2022 We are coming up on the highest point. The building of the figure heads aka the Temple of masks. It’s interesting because Lamanai had a mask temple and a jaguar temple. There are masks in here. Jaguars in here Kinich Ahau the sun god who was on the front of El Castillo in Xuntunich is in here. It’s interesting to see the similarities between the cities. The mask temple is the only place on this site where they found tombs 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Saint Greg Posted March 10, 2022 Author #1299 Share Posted March 10, 2022 You may wonder how the kid did. She was pretty good during the ride. Once we got to the plaza portion. She sat in the middle of the plaza and said she was done. It got better when we found the pottery and flint. The guide gave her a piece of flint. Walking back…. she didn’t want any part of the walk back. And along the way she lost that piece of flint and pitched a fit. Fortunately the guide found her a bigger, better one and it was all good again. Then of course the monkeys on the way out helped and lunch even more. Why wouldn’t she be excited about having Cheetos while I was stuck with Lays? After lunch I think she slept the rest of the way back. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
