the ruins at quirigua are pretty cool, but a bit expensive for guatemala ($10). a bunch of 1000+ year old glyphs carved into huge sandstone towers. plus steps to an old temple. but i enjoyed admiring the nature/wildlife more. it’s set in huge plain surrounded by trees. some of the trees are awesome. there are also lizards which run on their hind legs (couldn’t catch a picture). the other pic is of an ancient drill used for teeth. the peg/round disk spin together, and the block (with string) gets pushed up and down. it’s like an old fashioned yo-yo or firestarter — pretty cool.
