Palenque


Here's a picture of last week's p-day excursion and a little background on Palenque.

Palenque is a ruin city that is part of the Maya civilization that dates back to 100 BC to its fall around 800 AD. It is located on the western edge of the Maya empire near the present-day city of Chiapas, Mexico. The ruins left behind are very well preserved and maintained by local people as well as anthropologists. Currently, it is one of the most popular ruins for tourists from around the world to visit.

His companion is the one on his left. He's from Orem, UT. His mom and I have been emailing each other since we found out about the missionary moms email/support group. His mom sent this to me and said "I don't think your son is in the picture because my son is the only gringo in it"
