TIKAL

This makes me so MAD that these pictures are sideways, Tikal is phenomenal and this is just botching things majorly. Anyway-TIKAL is an ancient Mayan city in the way North of Guatemala. It's 10 hours on the bus from the city, so i've been sort of putting it off my whole time here even though everyone says its a must see. It was incredible though, another major stairs weekend...the ruins are absolutely massive, once you reach the top you are looking out over a sea of jungle canopies and pyramid tops, it's pretty incredible. I felt like I had traveled straight back in time to the Mayan Empire standing atop a pyramid, gracefully reigning over my kingdom. JOKE! Ungracefully dying of a heat stroke and unshowered on account of the fact that my bus up there left at 5:30am and I woke up at exactly 5:35. Yessssss.
