November 20, 2017
Morales is a larger center about 45 minutes from the boat. Shopping there is better and I brought treasures home like mushrooms, cottage cheese and fresh milk. The Mercado was several bustling streets with tons of vendors- clothing, crafts, fruit and veggies, beef, pork, chicken and seafood. 3 young guys strolled past us pushing a wheelbarrow filled with cuts of beef and 2 cow heads perched on top -their glassy eyes just staring at us. Too shocked to snap a pic we turned and watched as they weaved in and out of the crowds heading for their stall. A little further on - not to be outdone, the pork guy had his pig head dangling from the top of his stall...... This time I did get a pic. A little more of this and I may totally give up meat.

We went with the Offshore Cruisers Club on a bus tour to Tikal. We stayed in El Renete a lovely hotel 40 mins from Tikal. There are many ruins excavated but the majority of them remain covered in vegetation. The major temples are accessible and we walked up many of them and had wonderful vistas from the tops. There were howlers and squirrel monkeys in the trees but mostly we saw coatis - a raccoon like animal scurrying around. We had seen them also in Panajachel. The group we went with were lots of fun and we got to know some quite well like Jean and Bent from Denmark - sailing on a 57 foot cat and heading to Australia.
