At the entrance to the copan ruins there is a family of 22 macaws. The children are afraid to get too near them. Their fear? Big birds equals big poop?
This is the largest poison ivy plant I have ever seen. It is actually a tree. I don't know if it is actually a variety of poison ivy, or if it just has similar properties.
The ruins at Copan were pretty amazing. Unfortunately the weather was drizzling while we were there. These ruins pictured here were houses of the nobels.
Competitive sport was interesting. You did not want to be in the king's bad graces. If you won, perhaps the king would decide that the winner would be sacrificed to repressent the best of the people to the gods. If you lost the king may decide that today, you had failed your people on earth and therefor should be sacrificed to the gods.
