The Mayan Ruins of Copan, Honduras

It's time for more pictures.  My day at the Mayan ruins of Copan was interesting, but I don't have any extra-ordinary stories to tell you about hitchiking with bikers or knocking on factory doors uninvited.  So, here are a few pictures to show you how my day was.

Grand Plaza: The Columns are Called Stelae and They Depict the Kings of Copan

The Ball Court

The Hierglyphic Staircase: I know it's hard to see details, but archaeologists love this staircase because it depicts hundreds of years of Mayan history

The East Court with a View of the Surrounding Countryside

Little People Climbing the Altar in the East Court

Altar Q: The First Mayan King Handing Power to the King who Commissioned the Altar
