Wow what a week. It started with last weekend with our trip to Tikal, the capital of the Mayan world. What a work of art! It is definitely a "thin place" in the words of Dr. Becknell. The experience was worth getting up at 4 a.m. and sitting in the last row of the plane - row 11! It was a tiny plane.

The architecture the Mayans were capable of was incredible to see. I feel honored to have been able to climb their pyramids.
