You can't go to Central America and not see the ancient Mayan ruins. I wasn't sure how the boys would receive the idea of a history lesson while on vacation, but Evan said the visit to the site and climbing the Altun Ha ruins were the best part of the week long trip.
He might have been imagining a bit of Indiana Jones fighting the bad guys, but we were all taken by the awe inspiring temples and the stories that were told by our guide.
It is assumed another 200 structures at this site alone are yet to be uncovered.
Evan later asked, "Why are these still standing and the Roman buildings are crumbling?" The age old question with no answer.
