It it REALLY the END?

By now, we’ve ALL heard the “end of the world” is coming!

The Mayan “long count” calendar ends on December 21^st of this year.

You might even have seen a movie or two about the end of life on this earth as we know it.

Let's talk about it!

Ichcabal an excuse to visit Laguna Bacalar

Rumor has it, Ichcabal, may open to the touring public in late 2010. For those of you who are not familiar with Ichcabal, it's in the vicinity of Chetumal and the Laguna Bacalar. I never pass up a chance to visit Bacalar. It's spectacular! Even the Maya thought so! Enough of that. Ichcabal is a large site, well preserved, and I hear, not yet looted. Got to go and see this place. Anyone else want to go?

El Mirador

Anyone heard anything more on El Mirador? They're talking "the biggest pyramid in the world", and I thought the Popol Vuh frieze was the greatest..... Check out the vidoes.
