Day 33 - Dec 17

Today was a rest day but I did a trip to see the Mayan ruins at Tikal.  It must have been an impressive civilization.  They say at its height it was home to over 200,000 people.  It filled the valley as a city.  As you see it today it is a dense jungle.  They had a system of designed to catch and maintain a flow of water to meet the requirements of the city.  It is hard to believe that a civilization that advanced just ceased to exist.  The jungle simply swallowed all evidence that it ever existed. 

Here are some photos of the day:

And lastly, one of my favorite times of day... sunset!  As seen from the waterfront at Flores where we are staying.

Only two more days of riding.  I have managed to maintain EFI through thick and thin.
