Maxted Travels, Wallowing in the Maya. An archaeological journey through Guatemala, Honduras and southern Mexico. Sunday 27th January 2008, Palenque, Mexico. Last night was spent in a wooden lodge with no glass at the windows and a roof made of palm fronds. It was sited along the jungle banks that edge the Rio de la Passion.
