Palenque 2018

Well I had big plans to go and spend a whole day drawing at Palenque but when we arrived it was the end of a very long day and I was too tired. So I just took some photos and we wandered around and laid down on the grass and climbed a few of the ruins we had never climbed before. We didn't go all the way to the bottom, to the exit to see the waterfall because it's a tough climb back up and we had to catch our tour van at the entrance, but normally you look at them as you exit the bottom and it's much easier.

Angel wasn't into hanging around. She still hasn't grasp the significance of it. She can't imagine it before in all it's glory, painted beautiful colours and lots of people in feathers and clothing of her ancestors. I tried to explain and not be annoyed because I told her... "it's your ancestors that built this" ...not mine. But she will. She is only 15 and I was totally clueless about any of this when I was her age so I know I must be patient. I was a real brat I remember when my mom managed to take us on a trip to Disneyland, San Diego and Tijuana and I all I wanted to do was suntan. She didn't want to leave me alone and WOW do I totally get that now. Sorry Momma!!

That said my little Angel is an incredible trooper and she had taken super long bus rides, windy, curvy bumpy rides that make you puke and gotten up at all hours and well I just love her and admire her so much for how strong she had been. She is a wise child and I believe that trip has empowered her and enlightened her and it will help her in so many ways in the future.

Anyways here's a few photos of our day. Videos later.
