Yucatan - December 2007
Uxmal
Governor’s Palace
The front of the Governor’s Palace at Uxmal

After visiting the House of the Tortugas, we walked over to the Governor’s Palace.  The Governor’s Palace is really cool and definitely a hike to reach.  The designs along the roof are amazing and richly ornate; I really like them.  I chanted some mantras inside, and the acoustics were great.  I really feel that the Maya knew a lot about sound and acoustics.  I loved this temple.


The Palace is very long and narrow.
