After our morning devotion we have
bordered a van for Antigua. We made a change in plan and took a
different route stopping on the way at a Mayan ruin. The grounds of
the ruin were larger than I had anticipated although the pyramid type
structures were small, around thirty feet in height. It was quite
pleasant to walk around the grounds. The domestic or palace
structures were foundations only. Apparently the walls and upper
structure had been adobe with fresco paintings on the interior and
did not survive. There was a museum adjacent the site but
eve3rything was in Spanish. On of the displays was that of human
skulls and the surgical instruments they used to perform brain
surgery.
