They try very hard to score as I believe that the losing team was usually executed! 

They gave that tradition to the Romans then Hollywood got into the game.

Those small cans outside are there for dropping the small squares of paper inside the bathroom door that are used to cover the door handle as you exit. It's called a door tissue dispenser and looks similar to this and the used door tissues go in the can outside as you exit.

Yes, I know. Better than nothing if you need a trash can and all the stalls are occupied. 
 

Edited to add: Never mind.  Just read Greg’s comment on the automatic doors.

Afterwards you could get photo ops on the ball court.

Next we are going to a Mayan village.

[Saint Greg]

Traditional Mayan home. When you see pictures of the ruins sites that I’ve posted, this is why most of the regular houses are just foundations. The rest of it was built like this.
 

[Saint Greg]

This is a Mayan food. Made from pumpkin seeds and corn. I would have it but I don’t want to ruin my appetite for shacks chicken so I’m going to pass on the pak

The next station is Mayan tamales

[Saint Greg]

The next station is chocolate 

 

Mayan chocolate was made with Water, honey vanilla, cocoa beans, and human blood.

 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

They let us sample, honey, habanero, and a liquid chocolate that you could have mixed with Mayan liquor 

 

 

[Saint Greg]

Finally tequila.

 

This is basically the same tequila presentation I got at the Tequila Academy downtown. Their tequila is real. The mass produced tequilas like Patron and Don Julio are not because they take shortcuts.

I recorded the presentation at the Tequila academy last year so I’ll just link that here if anyone is interested.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

We got to taste their best tequila. I will say I don’t like tequila but this was good. This one is a 22 year process. They charge 169 dollars/bottle. You save $40/bottle if you buy 4 or more. They say you can drink an entire bottle and not have a headache or hangover unlike the mass produced tequila.

The cheapest they have is the 11 year for 79 dollars. And there are other options In between.

I skipped the buffet and went with a beer

Photo op pictures 

 

[Saint Greg]

This dance is similar to the one I saw at the tour in March. 
 

[Saint Greg]

On the way out they walk you through the gauntlet…errr…vendors. 

 

[Saint Greg]

Easy to find my seat

 

[Saint Greg]

Pedro talked all the way back.

a lot of guides call it quits on the way back.
