Palenque

Not much time here, but wanted to let you all now that Ancho and I toured Palenque today and all I can say is that you al should come and see for yourselves. Melissa, since Palenque is near Yucatan, you could do a little beaching there and then come here for some truly splendid ruinas. Anyhow, we are well and found a great camping site in the reserve by the ruins where wouldn´t you know it there are folks from california, ohio, quebec, etc. It´s a nice place with a pool and clean bathrooms, but there are lots of great hotels here too that aren´t too pricey. Dan and I have to return to San Cristobal tomorrow ( a winding 6 hour journey over mountains) because we have to connect with a higway there to the border crossing we want to take to Guatemala. We are also going to the house of a really great anthropologist who has done work in Latin America for decades. I met her when she came to speak at UK. We may stay at her house tomorrow night before setting out for the border. So, Ancho is waiting in the truck and I gotta go! Much love,
Lefty
