These pictures were taken in Copán Ruinas. We went with Grandma, Papa, Becca, Michael Brown(aka Bwown by Isaac), Leah and of course us. Copán was an ancient Mayan city close to where Keyla grew up.

An example of the landscape as we drove out there.

Michael Brown coming back from Nature's call.


Nature called more than one person, although the culprit in this photo will remain nameless.

Laughing over the pictures of the call...

Still don't understand why we let him be in charge of children.

She looks sweet and calm here, she wasn't this calm after walking in the heat for a couple hours.

Keyla's two cousins that live here in Honduras, and one who is visiting from NC.

A ceiba tree, native to Honduras. The Mayan priests used to pull off the thorns and pierce their ears, tounges, and "other parts" as a part of their blood ritual.

Mom ponders what "other parts" the priets pierced with the aforementioned thorns.

Macaws that live there in the park.

The guide (guy in the cowboy hat) was our guide through the park. He's been there a while giving tours. He told us that he once was the guide for Spencer W. Kimball, that will tell you how long he's been doing this.

This was one of the alters that the Mayans used for human sacrifice. You can see the grooves carved in to aid in the dispersment of a certain liquid.

Becca just realized why the top half of the alter is darker than the bottom.
(hint: it has to do with the liquid that the grooves are for)

Isaac wanted to take over the job of guide.

Leah was evicted from the chair as soon as we had to start climbing the pyramids.

She found a new method of transport.

The group, at the end of the tour. Leah got to take her clothes off. It was all we could do to keep her father form doing the same.
