My Christmas break

This year, for my Christmas break, I had a really good time. Even though it took about six hours for flying by plane, I was very excited for this trip. This trip was incredible and worthwhile because I think there is nothing else that can be better than the Mayans’ temples and pyramids. I really enjoyed the history of Maya; however, the environments around the great wonders were very different from the book that I had seen. I was a little disappointed. During the Christmas Eve, we had a great feast in a Mexican-Chinese restaurant, unfortunately, it was more likely to the Mexican flavor. Besides the Mayans’ wonders, I had seen a phenomenal cataract inside the forest. Under the cataract, there was a beautiful lake. The lake looked like a huge piece of jade, and the surface of the lake was placid and smooth. Moreover, we went to Guatemala for only one day because of the greatest temple-Tikal. Definitely, Tikal culture can be one of the oldest and strongest empire of all the civilization in the central America. It has total six temples in the city of Tikal, and each one of them are grandiose and phenomenal. It is a very interesting fact that in Mayans' history, it divides in three periods, per-classic period (2500B.C.-250A.D.), classic period (250-900A.D.), and post classic period (900-1500A.D.). Nevertheless, pleasures and time are ephemeral, we only had ten days to enjoy and mingle this culture. All in all, I had seen all kinds of landscapes, but the grandiose pyramids were the best.

  1. I really enjoy seeing Mayan and Aztec architecture, as well! Sounds like an awesome trip. Plus, I bet the weather was pretty pleasant, too. 14/20
