How many Mayan ruins can one see? Well, in Mexico you can spend days, weeks, maybe even months visiting them all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, we visited Palenque, a huge change from Yachitlan as Palenque is on the bus tour route. We counted 4 huge buses in the museum parking lot and many more small van tour groups. Since we were here, and had found a wonderful camping place with a pool, we decided to visit the ruins anyway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were amazingly surprised. The ruins sprawl over a fairly large area, so except for the busy main areas, it can absorb a large number of people. We walked over from our camping spot, wandered for a few hours in the heat and humidity\u2026until we ran out of water, took lots of pictures, and then sauntered back and fell into the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were glad we decided to brave the crowds. We have found every set of ruins to be similar, but unique in their own way. I\u2019m not sure how many more ruins we will visit\u2026you know, the unplanned, plan and all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we are being bums. The pool, internet to catch-up on blogs, the pool, trying to get wet clothes to dry (futile in this humidity), and did I mention the pool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
