Ruins of the Ancients

(pretty cool title, huh?) So, after another enormous writing hiatus, we have an abundance of time to write and post in the small tourist town of Dahab.

Visiting the Mayan ruins

Wow! Today was great! We left Roatan yesterday, and we were all sad to go. It was Mom and Dad’s favorite place in the Caribbean, and it was me and my sister’s favorite (and only) place too. But now we have reached Copan Ruinas and having just as much fun. We are staying at a […]
