Tikal

A few days ago I went on a trip to Tikal National Park. I have wanted to do this for a long time so actually going was a little surreal. In addition to being a beautiful tropical forrest, Tikal contains some of the largest ruins of the Mayan Empire. It was incredible to walk through these ruins and imagine what it must have been like all those years ago. Many of these buildings took hundreds or even thousands of years to build. It is amazing to think that something like that could be possible or that an group of people could exist long enough to see the construction to its end.
