Facing my fears
Yesterday, was so crazy, it was our trip to Tikal. I did not know that there was so much to the Myan history. On our way to the rain forest we stopped at a store where the our tour guild told us that if we buy something that the money goes to a school that they are supporting. He said that the school had no desk, before the store, for the children to write on. He also told us how they make gum and showed us a hugh slab of it. It look like a hugh log and not gum. Also he took us by the school and told us that there are 82 students in that school and only two teaches and one class room. So 41 students face one way and learn and the other 41 face the other way and thats how they have there class. We also went to a lake where when you look at the mountain behind it it is shaped like a aligater. After that we were on our way to the rain forest. It took about an hour and twenty minutes to get there. Once we got there we road p to the parking lot and started the adventure. Knowing me I do not like bugs so that was the first fear that I faced. Even time I turned around there was something flyig in my ear. When we got to the ruins it was so beautiful. To some people it may look like some old run down building but when you get to the temples it´s a whole nother story. My next three fears wher climbing the temples. The stps were so steep that I felt like I was going to fall. I started to hipervenalt on temple number five and that wasn´t even the highst temple. The highest temple was number four and that one was easier than number five to climb, but on all I made sure to stay away from the edge. While walking we saw Spider Monkeys, Tucans and all types of insects. It was crazy. I think that our tour guild was lying to us because I kept hearing a noise that sound like a Puma and he kept telling us it was the Spider Monkeys. It did not sound like no moonkeys because monkeys do not growl. By the end of the tour I was itching so bad because it started raining whild climbing up temple four. I can say that this trip is getting better and better lets see what happens our last week here.
