Ek -Balam and Chichen Itza

We booked an excursion thru Alma Tours to go to Ek Balam, Chichen Itza and a cenote. Our driver is Arni and our tour guide was Louis. First stop of the day was Ek Balam where we were able to climb to the top of the ruin. The stair were very steep and not my favorite. With the help and encouragement from Brian and our new friends Justin and Jessica Christensen from Washington I made it to the top. The view from the top was amazing. Louis told us the because the land here is so flat that if we see a hill then under that hill is a ruin. After we finished there we traveled and had lunch at a la hacienda. Very yummy food. My favorite was the pork wrapped and cooked I a banana leaf. After lunch we traveled to Chichen Itza. Here we saw so much of the Book of Mormon supported here. The carvings into the stones were amazing. To learn about the Mayan calendar was amazing. We are so glad that we book the tours so we could see the evidence of the Book of Mormon.
