Mexico photos!






I don't know how to add photos to an existing post, so I thought I'd just post them here.
Beginning from the lower left, the first is that spectacular Olmec head from the Anthropology Museum. Then, also at the Anthropology Museum is the burial finery of Pakal The Great, Maya King buried at Palenque. Next is my favorite structure at Palenque, the Temple of the Foliated Cross. The altar is in a home in Zinacanton, a modern indigenous village outside San Cristobal, where the main industry is raising flowers. Finally, one of the courtyards of the Na Balom guest house in San Cristobal, founded by anthropologist Frans Blom and his photographer wife, Trudy.
