↓ This is a telephoto view of Structure 1 from Structure 2.
See the stela up near the top -- third terrace down? ↓

↓ Some history of Calakmul ↓

↓ Jungle trees right out of a Tolkein book...they seem to be walking. ↓

↓ Map of plaza showing Structures 2, and 1 and 7.
Number 7 will be our last climb of the day, unless you count climbing into bed. ↓

↓ Looking up the cable. A zip line temporarily mounted to the pyramid.
Only time we saw this sort of thing. ↓

↓ Looking down at Mary and Josh from below the winch level. ↓

↓ And looking up at the winch from this point. ↓

↓ Joe wanted to photograph this vulture who, like the Maya priests, took advantage of the vantage point. ↓

↓ My shot of the vulture ↓

↓ We’re Number 1 !! -- Or at least on top of Number 1 ↓

↓ The view from Number 1!
Looking at Number 2 (from this angle it looks like a green tree–covered hill), and
to the right in the far distance, Number 13 (where we ate lunch; looks like a speck of light) ↓

↓ Again, the hill on the left edge of the screen is the unexcavated slope of Number 2;
Structure 13 in the left distance is the one we ate lunch on top of; the one on the right is Number 7. ↓

↓ Showing off the telephoto lense with a view of Number 7 — the next, and our last, pyramid today.
Except 13 which is not on the main plaza, these numbers all show on the map of the plaza, back a few frames. ↓

↓ We were down a level from the top, and Josh was still a couple of terraces up from the bottom.
On the right, we are looking down on and past the "third terrace" stela I pointed out on the first photo. ↓

↓ Josh is standing on the porch of this structure, not the ground.
See the stela up near the top shown in the previous picture? ↓

Leaving the big ones behind,
we head for the exit with only minor diversions (Monkeys and Structure 7).
