I hope they take pictures before they burn through the evidence.

Now if there were only 2000 year old munchies near by. maybe some brownies or cookies.

It looks like a chamberpot.

In 1000 BC there was a city in Central America that existed solely as a place to get chocolate...

Coba is nice, better in some ways than Chichen Itza, because it is almost completely unrestored and you have to walk down jungle paths to explore it. I don’t know about scooters on that coastal road to Tulum though. It was a crowded one lane each way death trap, and I recall a dilapidated semi ahead of me pulling out of our lane into oncoming traffic while going around a turn with “Solo dios sabe tu destino” (Only God knows your fate) written on its bumper.

When I read the headline I was thinking it was the other kind of pot.😜

Now days we call it Hershey, PA.

And someday we WILL go there.

We will visit everything, the park, the zoo, the gardens, the museum, the restaurant and finish it off with a day at the spa. Ok, he might draw the line at a full day at the spa.

I am still going to have one.

Anyway, now that I have gone completely off topic, nice article, thank you for posting it.

Within 48 hours they had made 2000 copies and were selling them for $20 Pesos on 2nd ave in Playa Del Carmen and Cancun.

Hot tub, sippin’ hot cocoa...

Sounds like a fun way to end a winter day.

Perhaps I can talk the boss into a hot tub.

I used to know some people who got one on prescription due to the wife’s back ailment. Probably a high deductible, but...

There are mounds scattered around Honduras that contain artifacts from the Mayan civilization. Most of them were destroyed during the plowing of the sugar cane fields.

A family member whose Honduran family owned several sugar cane plantations has a perfectly preserved Mayan stone carving that was unearthed during a planting season. He was able to bring it home before Honduras put a ban on the exporting of Mayan antiquities..........
