A-frames, ruins, chultun






This is a strange building. It's near the entrance of the complex and it has entrances on all four sides. I don't know if it's supposed to, but it has them now, anyway. Ginger climbed up (not very high- like about 4 or 5 feet) to get a picture on the building. We were skeered, being newbies to the ways of the ruins, that we would get in trouble for climbing on the ruins because there were signs saying to not climb around on them. Of course later on when some more people got there, we saw people climbing all over everything. So we did too. Parts, probably most, of this city are not excavated. I took a couple of pictures. You can see how well preserved some parts are, even covered with jungle. And here is Ginger being sucked into a chultun. The first person who remembers what a chultun is wins a piece of slave-free chocolate.
