Copan: Days 25 & 26

Hi guys! Sorry for not posting yesterday. I uploaded photos and everything, but then got distracted by lively conversations going on around me. Justifiable, yes?

It's hard to believe I only have a few days left in this magical place... The time has flown by! Even so, I am excited to see my family and friends when I return on Sunday.

Yesterday was the last day of our community projects. I had the last interview with Don Felipe, after which I spent some time transcribing it. On Saturday we will interview his wife. Now that community projects are essentially over for most people, we have all started working on our final site reports, community project reports, and have begun cramming for our final on Saturday morning. A few of us (myself included) are also feeling the crunch of what little time we have left, trying to get to all the sites we missed and doing some last-minute shopping.

Tonight we all went to Don Udo's house for a special dinner. It was absolutely beautiful there, and I am kicking myself since I didn't bring my camera. Fortunately, the photos from those that did bring their camera will be floating around Facebook soon enough. I'll try to post some of those when I can. The rest of the evening was pretty relaxing, especially knowing we would be able to sleep in tomorrow!

Oh, and before I forget, the temple in my post a few days ago that I kept referring to as Temple 16 is actually Temple 11. My bad!

For now, I thought I'd post some pictures of awesome people.

Moncho: the head honcho!

Lucy, in the tunnel right outside of Ruler 12's tomb.

Marc next to his second favorite thing: hieroglyphic benches! His first? Coffee. Have I posted this picture already?
I love and miss you all! Send me some love!
