Today we went to Uxmal which is an ancient mayan city with many building and pyramids. We got to climb the 75 steps of the small pyramid and explore dark and mysterious rooms. THese rooms had birds and old chewing gum wood that was about 1000 years old. We learned that only the kings were buried and the rest of the Mayans were cremated. We also saw red hand prints on the ceiling and learned about ancient mayans games and rituals. After Uxmal we went to a hôtel because the light show was canceled, we swam in the pool with the fish in it and thoroughly relaxed. Then we went to a delicious buffet, it was the best buffet ever. Then we had a long bus ride back to the school and eventually went back to our houses. It was a very fun and informative day for us espeacilly because of the culture and food at Uxmal.
