Copan

We had a really interesting visit to the ancient Mayan ruins of Copan. At the entrance you can see many Macaw birds. The Mayans believed they were a very sacred bird.

Here we are overlooking the ball court. They played a game similar to soccer. Researchers aren't sure if the winners or the losers got sacrificed, but somebody was killed after each game.

We explored several tunnels that were made by archeological excavations inside the temples. That was really neat. I loved it.

It was a beautiful place.
