Ek Bbalam

Ek Balam (or “Black Jaguar” in Maya) has a spectacular temple/tomb on the fourth level of “The Acropolis” or “La Torre”. Because this temple was covered over with a fill of rubble and limestone soon after its construction, the temple and its stucco decorations were protected from the elements and preserved intact.

Labna

Acropolis Stuccos 1

The fourth level of the Acropolis, referred to as the “White Temple”, contains the tomb of an Ek Balam king named Ukit Kan Le’k Tok’. The stucco-work on its facade is in such astonishingly good condition that it appears to have been completed only yesterday. This is because the temple was covered over with rubble […]

Tree on Car 2003

Just prior to Christmas we bought a new 2003 Honda Civic. After waking up New Years Day while visiting Bruce in Wistler we found a tree had fallen down covering out car. Luckly for us the tree’s weight was held mostly by Neil’s Bronco.

Kabah

“The region behind or south of the two converging ranges of low hills that come together just northwest of Uxmal is called the Puuc (Maya hilly country).
