Copan Feb. 18-19

As most of you already know, in February we went on our big trip around Guatemala. Our rather large group was divided into 2 smaller groups and then we went our separate ways (same places, different times). Our first stop was Copan, Honduras.


The Guatemala/Honduras "border"


The Copan Ruins (well, some of them...) The long skinny patch of grass between the two buildings that have the sides that slope down is where the Mayans would play their ball game. They would have a sacred game once or twice a year and the best player of the winning team would be the human sacrifice (how's that for motivation to be an underachiever?)
