Camelot or Cadbury? An Iron Age fort or the home of the once and future king? The legend if a chieftain or a romantic fantasy? Perhaps both are true as part of an enduring legacy. After all, once there was a spot, that for one brief shining moment was known as Camelot.
Yaxchilan Is one of my favorite Mayan sites deep into Mexico. It can be reached only after a small boat ride that takes people into the jungle and the temple where epic story of Lady Xook is told . But should I have found a geocache hidden among the ruins?
When visiting Mayan ruins, we entered the world of Chaac, the God of Rain who brings the Sound of Thunder, even as acid rain threatens what remains. In an area where entire cities and kingdoms depended on rainfall, his importance was clear. He could require sacrifice. In today’s he calls on us to care for the air and water. His voice calls as a warning.
