Another three-site day for the UC Explorers: Kabah, Sayil and Labna were our destinations for the day, and what a long day it was. All three were impeccable examples of the three different Puuc styles: early, colonette and mosaic. The...

2008-02-06T01:02:49Z

We visited three sites today: Acanceh, Tecoh and Mayapan. Yes, I know what you’re thinking “three sites in one day?” but really, it wasn’t as bad as you’d think. These were relatively tiny sites, and all were within a pretty short dis...

Ek'Balaam

2008-02-03T01:01:10Z

After visiting such an enormous site, Ek’Balam was a welcome travel day for us. It was the polar opposite of Chichen Itza – inside a double wall, Ek’Balam rises to meet its visitors with a corbel arch leading to a functional – not ritu...

imperfecto

2008-01-23T19:25:02Z

Hoy aprendamos el tenso imperfecto, es muy dificil entender quando mi maestro no puede explicame. Pero yo sobrevivirai, ¿no? En la clase de culutra íbamos al Centro ver La Palacio de la Gobernadora y Casa de Montejo. La Palacio de la ...
