Jan. 16 – Tikal

Woke to another day of rain.  The ceiling light in our room had blinked on every twelve seconds all night long.  Some great Guatemalan wiring!  The shower in the bath had an on-demand heater installed at the shower head, with wires connected inside the shower enclosure, so whenever you stood under it you wondered if you were about to be electrocuted!

Huevos rancheros for breakfast, then back up the hill to the Tikal site.  Fantastic is all I can say.  An incredible Mayan site.

Lots and lots of walking;  rain almost stopped.

Back to tiny El Cruce (El Remate) and cruised the lakeshore and nearby bio-reserve.  Very beautiful here. Dinner of hamburgers and french-fries and beer, with candy bars for dessert!  Tried to get some blogging done, but the internet connectivity sucked.  Levi found a couple of young folks to go off with, and I settled on the porch of our ‘hotel’ and read my book.

A great day, and a nice night.
