Copan, Honduras – Dec 2002-Jan
2003

......
We took a 7 hour mini-van ride from Panahachel, Guatemala
to Copan Ruinas,
near the Honduran/Guatemalan border, in order to visit the Mayan ruins of Copan. This is the
town's central square.

In a tunnel under one of the ruins. Much of the carvings and the
temple's structure lie below ground as they have been buried slowly over
the years. I am standing next to a large carved face that was excavated.
