palenque, day 2



our second morning in palenque, we hopped onto another van and drove out to the archaeological site a little bit outside the city that contained the immense ruins that i spent the morning and early afternoon climbing up and down.

so amazingly cool.

and humid and intense and hot. it was worth it, but i'm almost certain i sweat out every single bottle of water that i had drank within two days of the trek.

but such an amazing place to be. it is so incredible to have walked around in these sites that hold so much history in every single stone and etching in the walls. there is a certain closeness to an age that usually seems so far away.

in lieu of attempts at explaining the experience, i'm just going to include more photos...
