2017 - 2018:  Punta Mita Mexico to Quetzaltenango Guatemala

Dec 12, 2017.  Xpujil, Cabanas Chaac Calakmul, Yucatán

Cold night!  Needed blanket.  And couldn’t figure out how to start the hot water heater for the shower, so no morning shower.  Bummer.

 Xpujil. Great example of Rio Bec style, date around 500-750 AD.  Three towers, center one 53 m high.  Impossibly steep stairs. Jaguar mask in back of central tower.  Nobody else here.  Because a lot of the decoration was done in stucco over stone and then painted, very little of it remains.  Sometimes though the stones themselves are arranged to form stick-like representations of gods and animals.
