Yeah, like the way they tuned the windows in one building at Palenque, so when the wind blows, it plays like a flute--with two different sounds. After walking down the road and someone jumps out to sell you "hongos" (magic mushrooms). That's a once in a lifetime mind bending experience.

Or sitting on top of the Pyramid at Tikal on a full moon listening to the howler monkeys. Then walking back to the campsite (they let you camp right next to the pyramid) and not being able to sleep because the rainforest jungle is so loud at night. Eye opening.

Sounds a lot more magical than looking at a reconstructed wall with bus loads of Chinese tourists?!?!?

Wow, that's great.

But I also am proud that I've been to many boring dull locations, mostly in America--the South and Midwest. But some in other countries, just to see how the average person lives.

Makes me appreciate my home more. ✓
