Mexico (2009) - Coba

The first ruins we visited in Mexico were in Coba. These ruins were different from the others we saw because they were mostly unexcavated and surrounded by jungle. While these were not our favorite, they were still really interesting to see.



The Mayans had a game that they played where they had to get a ball through a ring like this. The team that lost or won (no one really knows) was sacrificed.


A lot of people climb the Nohoch Mul pyramid, which is the largest temple in the Yucatan. Elisabeth was a little confused about calling it a temple and kept asking why the temple turned to stone.

Andrew thought he was big enough to climb it.
