Day 22, Turkeys at Tikal


Tikal Mayan Ruins - the grand-daddy of the ruins- and a lot of wild life which was like being at the zoo. The coatimundis were so cute but were told by our driver Matias who had to drive us to the ruins that you don't want to feed these animals. If they like something you've given them, they'll hunt you down until they can find you and scratch and bite until they get the same treat again. Decided not to feed any of the animals which is highly advised. We saw a spider monkey, and heard the howler monkeys. The ruins were quite interesting and after touring arrived to Central Plaza which is shown on all the news articles and advertisements. Couldn't understand why the army and federal police were all gathered in the area. The Guatemala Secretary of Ministry had arrived and his entourage was him which was quite interesting. After we left this area, we went to lunch at the park and enjoyed our visit with our driver. We had calculated that we had walked 5 miles then realized why our legs were so tired. Ermila
