The next structure in Plaza A is called A3 (what no name?). This was a climbable structure even thou

Our plan today is to go on tour with Becca and the crew to the Mayan Site of Altun Ha ( Rockstone Pond in Mayan ). Altun Ha is the best excavated site in Belize and about an hour and 15 minutes from the port. We are not expecting good roads. The buildings date back to 100 AD and 10,000 Maya lived here at one time.
The seas are a bit choppy so hopping on the tender is a little tricky we are using local tenders (not lifeboats). Once the tender cleared the immediate vicinity of the ship, the throttle went max and it was definitely an A ride. I sat on the aft bench so I got a good feel for the sea and speed.
We caught our tour bus on the back side of the Cruise Terminal Building. We had to wait in the bus (thankfully air-conditioned) for about 40 minutes for nine passengers that never arrived. The roads were not the greatest even though we were on the highway (one lane each way). The tour guide told us that the British (Belize used to be British Honduras) left the island with a lot of things good roads were not one of them.
Everything was going along pretty well until the bus suddenly stopped on a bridge. I did not know that the bus and a van had tried to go on this narrow bridge at the same time and now then were wedged together.
Here s how we got free. Occupants brentwood city of los angeles of the van actually lifted the van a few inches brentwood city of los angeles toward the edge of the bridge. This provided just enough clearance (with a little scraping) to allow the bus to clear the bridge. The delay was about 30 minutes and should never have happened.
The next structure in Plaza A is called A3 (what no name?). This was a climbable structure even though the plaster covered stairs were big enough for giants to use (instead of the 4-5 ft tall Maya). No problem getting to the top in the heat.
The Temple of the Masonry Altars brentwood city of los angeles is the tallest structure in Altun Ha (60 feet). It was the center of religious activity in the settlement. The stairway leads to a large altar at the top of the temple. Several brentwood city of los angeles tombs, believed to have been those of Altun Ha s priests, were found in this temple. The most significant find was a jade head (15 cm high) of the Maya Sun God, Kinich Ahau.
The top is reached today by a stairway with railings that goes up on the right side of the structure and down the other. It is a little difficult to climb due to the stone steps but Gary, Noah, Eliana, and I made it to the top.
Dinner was in the Aqua Dining room. Dova had spoken earlier to one of the Maitre D s about the service and tonight she caught another one and lodged a complaint about the service. Before brentwood city of los angeles we knew it, we had Mojitos on the house (my new favorite drink) and wine for tomorrow s dinner.
