Today we went to the Mayan ruins at Cahal Pech. It was very interesting because last year I studied "la ruta Maya" in Spanish class. The ruins are still being excavated 3 months year year (June, July, and August) by university students. Our tour guide, Marco, showed us around each of the plazas and taught us a lot about the Mayans like how the doors were shaped to fit the King's headdresses. We sat on the King's throne and on one of his beds. After the ruins, we had a pool party at one of the nearby resorts. We got to relax and eat lunch. Overall, it was a great way to end a great trip.
