Tikal Mayan Ruins

Last Sunday after my spanish classes and a nice volcanic steam sauna and bath I left for Antigua, a beautiful Spanish city where I was going to watch the super bowl...Thats as far as I made it...
I left Xela and arrived in Antigua at 5 pm where I located a Hotel and took a shower and got some food..I then went and looked for a flight to the Tikal ruins and everything was booked full for a few days except for a Bus leaving at 6.30, so I met some Peace Corps people while eating and told them I would watch the Super Bowl at their place, but now I had a bus ticket, so I went to the hotel and they gave me my money back at bam, I arrived in Tikal the next morning after some problems getting there, long story so I will skip it, but they never actually confirmed my ticket so I waited late into the night for the last bus..
The next morning at 4.45 am I arrived and instantly a man offered my a 5 am departure to see the ruins, so I took it...As we loaded up the bus a met a German guy who let me throw my backpack in his room..We arrived before sunup and all the parrots, toucans, monkeys, etc were howling and singing cause no one was around....
The ruins were magificient, 200 ft tall pyramid like things jutting above a Rainforest that spanned thick in all directions, full of monkey and incredible diversity...I don´t know how the Mayans built these structures, the jungle takes over within weeks of wacking it down due to the abundant rainfall...On top of the pyramid you see secondary old growth rainforest on all sides stock full of Mahogany, Cedar, and Ceiba giants reaching 100-200 ft and which are covered in epiphytes...There was ponds with crocodiles and turtles, massive rat like animals and tons of spider monkeys which come out only when the loud tourists leave and the patient quite ones sit and wait as they get closer to the pyramids at night.....
The heat and humidity is high and I never ate nothing so after 12 hours there we took the last bus back into a small town where we stayed the night...And left for Rio Dulce the following morning which is my next story....
>This is a must see,, probably the most fascinating piece of history and Art I have ever seen, especially considering the sweltering climate and ever persistent mosquitoes and biting bugs.
