I don't remember the number of it but this is an amazing stelae at Copan located in the Great Plaza.
We were in Honduras in October too! We didn't go to Copan. But we went to Tulum in Mexico and Altun Ha in Belize. The ruins are absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Robin! Altun-Ha is a small but very nice ruin to visit. The beach at Tulum is AMAZING as well. You must have been on a cruise?
ReplyDeleteYes we were. My hubby wanted to visit more ruins. That is why we picked that cruise.
DeleteWell....when y'all want to visit many more Maya ruins, let me know. I've visited 116 of them! Y'all can go with me on one of my adventures if ya want. Jeff will be heading to the Guatemalan jungle with me for 4 nights in March 2013. He'll be freaking out the whole time we're there, too! I can't wait!!!! LOL
