Hey everyone it's Sanj and Melissa. Yesterday we took a 4 a.m. tour of Tikal beginning from the Jungle Lodge Hotel.We walked through the jungle and climbed the tallest Mayan temple to watch the sunrise. We visited several temples, learned the history behind the construction as well as Mayan culture. We encountered various animals such as spider monkeys, howler monkeys, coati, fox, and several insects. Today we took a day off from work and focused on connecting and spending time with our host families for the entire day. We spent the day playing with our host families' children in hope to continue learning more about them as the day goes on. Adios, hope to see you all very soon! :)
