They say that if Tikal, in Guatemala, was the Manhattan of the Maya (because of the tall and grandiose buildings), Copán was the Paris – because of its scientific and cultural achievements, and beautifully nuanced constructions.
Even if the setting is not as majestic as in Tikal, where the tropical jungle surrounding the huge complex gives an extra spin to the monumental buildings, Copán impresses you by the beautiful carvings and details in the buildings.
By the way, the Gnome is back. I’ve been forgetting him lately, but here he is, admiring the Mayan ruins.
Jeff was back in the hostel, closed in one of the pockets of my back pack. (hush, hush: I think him and the gnome had a fight, and they’re still without talking to each other…)
