One of the fantastic Mayan sculptures found at Copán.

Some clay statues were found of various rulers. This one, I believe he may have been the first, seems to have been a bit of a card, really. I think the hat may have come out when he was drinking with the boys. And as for the Elton John glasses...

Mayan glyphs from one of the statues, with a pyramid behind.

Beautiful views down from the highest structures over the Great Plaza and ball court of Copán.

Jo imagines herself to be a Mayan ruler looking down at her imaginary loyal subjects. We were early in the Copán ruins site, and had most of it to ourselves for much of the time.

Doing some background reading atop a Mayan temple at Copán. Again, being early has benefits of uncrowded enjoyment.

A rather large altar to Chac, the Mayan god of rain. According to ancient Mayans, it rains when Chac sneezes. Euwwww!!!!
