Sacbes and more





The first is a hut on the trail to the ruins. It had cans of gas and water and rags and lawn equipment in it, but it is typical of the houses in the area and cute, so we took a picture. The next couple are of me and G on a sacbe. The careful reader will remember that I have explained before what a sacbe is. But for the careless reader I'll re-explain. The Maya cities were all connected by raised roads. These roads were called sacbes. Labná has the best preserved (or maybe reconstructed) sabes that we found. There may be better ones somewhere, but these were the best we saw. The last picture is of Ginger in front of a building that looks like another house complex.
