Two Days at Tikal – The Mayan Ruins in the Jungle of Guatemala

by on December 21, 2012 in Destination

Located in the jungles of Guatemala, the relatively remote Mayan Ruins of Tikal are impressive. I spent the better part of two days inside the grounds and still didn’t see everything. But from my time walking among the ruins I learned to further appreciate the Mayan Culture I’ve already grown to know from places like […]

Veracruz, located on the gulf coast of Mexico, offers access to the sea. And although the sun does not dip into the Gulf of Mexico, a sunset can still be appreciated from the coastal city. On my last evening staying at the Galeria Plaza Veracruz I looked outside and noticed this view. Happy Sunset Sunday. […]

Sometimes a sunset finds you. Originally, I thought my chances for a magical sunset in the hill country of Texas were above average.
