Guatemala 2007: Tikal and Flores

One of our excursions was to the island town of Flores and the nearby Mayan ruins of Tikal. Visiting Tikal was my first time visiting anything that old. The city was at its peak from 200-850 AD. Climbing to the top of the temples gave a spectacular view of the rest of temples peaking out from above the forest. I chose this picture of one of the temples because it shows the stairs/ladder that we climbed very well.

The town of Flores is on an island and that is where we stayed. It was beautiful to be able to take a walk around town and around an island at the same time. It is a town that I would love to get to know better someday. The sunset picture I took when walking around the island and I saw some boys playing on a dock.
