First off, we saw these lazy Howler Monkeys in the trees.. can you spot them?
Days before our visit, they had just completed an informative museum up there at the ruins. It was very interesting to learn more about the Maya culture. Sadly, there are still many evil traditions and superstitions that the people here in Belize still hold to, stemming from these, their ancestors.
Time to start the climb! I, as usual, elected to stay down below and watch the brave and energetic climbers.. and of course I made friends down there. :-) This time with a very knowledgeable educator who runs an alternative school in Phoenix. She was a wealth of information in regard to hands on learning, unschooling and natural learning. We also spoke about how the fear of the Lord is the beginning of all wisdom and how we should be looking to him for instruction on how to teach our children. I was very blessed by that precious lady.

Riding the ferry back over to Succotz Village on the handcrank ferry. They had upgraded ferries since our last visit. The 4 vehicle transport seems like a luxury liner compared to the 1 car ferry of old.
Rye gives it a try
So does T. What a great day at the ruins!
