One more won´t ruin it

After a few days in the heat of Merida, we headed South (we are still coming home, just have to go around the Gulf). We stayed just outside of the town of Palenque, near the Mayan ruins of the same name. When we arrived at the ruins, we signed the log book, and I noticed a person from a country I had never heard from before, California. I hope some people just don´t vote! The ruins at Palenque are more restored than other ruins we have been to. We found this nice, to try and imagine what it was like, but it was also a little strange to see the temples so perfect. The ruins are situated up on a hill next to a stream, that turns into an impressive set of falls on your way out of the site. The museum at the exit is very impressive, with quite a few well intact carvings of the glyphs they used for a writing system. My favorite was of the name of a Queen Feather Heart of the Wind Place. We are trying to cram in a few places before the end of our trip, so we hit the road immediately and where off to our next destination.
