| Mike, Ashley, and Scott at Tikal |
By Scott Romano
I knew that today was going to be a great day from the
moment I stepped out of bed. Tikal is a
magical place that has so much mystery behind it. Tikal is a hard place to wrap your head
around by just looking at the pictures.
You really have to see it to believe it.
There are monkeys all over the place and birds chirping left and right.
Tikal is an amazing place because nobody truly knows how it
was built. There are massive thousand
foot tall rock temples that the Mayans built with no modern day machinery. My favorite part of the day was towards the
end when most of the other tourists left and we were able to just sit in peace
in the grand plaza.

Looking back on the trip, I cannot believe that two weeks
have already passed. This was an
incredible group of students to travel with and I consider myself very
fortunate to have been given the opportunity to get close with everyone. Going to Tikal is a great way to close out
the trip and I would not have wanted it any other way.

To end the day, we all sat around dinner and kind of
reflected on the trip. I was amazing to
hear what everyone’s most impactful moments were and to hear what they enjoyed
most about the trip. For me, Tikal was
definitely one of my most favorite parts just due to the whole mystery behind
it. I hope that everybody reading this
blog at home has the opportunity to go to Tikal one day and experience it for
themselves.
