Our trip to Xunantunich!

Hey all! This trip was actually on our first weekend here in Belize. It was a "Culture" day and were taken to the western part of the country near the Guatemalan border. The purpose was to expose us to the Mayan and Mestizo cultures. It was great fun fun and of course the food was delicious! The Pièce de résistance was our trip to the Mayan site Xunantunich where we not only saw our first Mayan pyrimid but also one of the famous Mayan ball courts. The "winners" of the game were sacrificed!

I have added Part 1 & 2 of the video.... there is a Part 3 to come but we are having trouble uploading the vids. Probably will have to start posting more pics and less vids. Enjoy and do please post comments.... we really enjoy hearing from you all!
