Mayapan to Mani





With no assurance that it wouldn't rain all day we set out for Uxmal around noon. The idea was we could get there at 4.30 and see everything before dark at 6. Then we could have a quick dinner and go back to the light and sound show at 7. We decided to stop at Mayapan where Kathleen had made a fashion shoot for Tatler magazine 5 years ago and called her toddlers from the signal on top of the pyramid. Now there are towers everywhere and her London blackberry was going mad all day in the car competing with Seamus's NY iphone for attention. They took forever climbing around and I went back to read a book on glyphs in the car. Then I took a wrong turn in Mama and we ended up in Yo Butt before going to Mani for lunch at 3.30. After a tour of the newly (almost) renovated convent we headed back to Merida and the faster internet service. Uxmal later...
