Myan Ruins

Chichen Itsa:
This place is the most well preserved ruin in the area, it was beautiful. The main temple had all kind of references to the Myan calendar and all of the windows line up on April 6 to light up the inside. There were 2000 pillars which they supposed represented the 2000 stripling warriors (according to a local LDS guide). We wished we would have been able to stay longer and learn more about all the history and symbolism. Isn't Neal so cute?




Coba:
These ruins were way cool, they had them open to climb on (which would never happen in the US) and it was kind of a little scarry. The stairs were pretty steep and a little crumbly and while we were at the top we could see miles and miles, it was so beautiful. Then coming down I was a little nervous. They had these arena type structures where two teams played a game kind of like basketball but the losers would be sacrificed.
