Marvelous Mary!

Our tour guide, Mary was excellent, informative, very sweet and patient.  We dragged her all over the site and she carefully answered ALL of our questions with great detail.  I'm sure we got our money's worth of the entire experience. 

Not only did she speak Spanish, but she also spoke Mayan and explained that the language is still alive and thriving today.  It's estimated that 1 million speak Mayan and some schools teach it.  The written Mayan language is very complicated and difficult to learn.  One symbol can represent hundreds of words!
