Ruin Hopping

---

Palenque, Coba, Chichen Itzá, and Tulum. All wonderful spots. Palenque, in the jungle, all original structures being reclaimed by nature, full of energy. The jungle itself cured me of all ills, rejuvenating me with its hypnotic energy. The first night sleeping in a hammock beneath a thatched roof with a wild rain and lightning storm raging around me made me feel more alive than ever. I saw Coba and Chicen Itzá the same day. Chichen Itzá was a little Disneylandish, but one of those things I was too close to miss, and still very impressive. And then Tulum, today, original buildings on the cliffs overlooking the pristine Caribbean, it´s hard to express in words.
I apologize for the brevity of this entry. The time limit of the computer shop is cutting me short. Until Guatemala, love to all and take care.
