Ramps, niches, and me and G






More pictures of us in Labná. This area was very cool. Note the ramp. We saw these in a lot of places. I think they are part of the sacbes. Wherever a sacbe meets an arch, the sacbe goes up a ramp to pass under the arch and then down again. But we also saw these little rampms where there weren't arches. But maybe there were other little buildings at the tops of the ramps. And, maybe the ramps are just the underneath of steps or something that haven't been reconstructed yet. But one more thing abut this area of the city, there are niches in the wall of one of these buildings that used to have things in them. You can tell. Maybe little statues. I guess they were looted a long time ago.
