Palenque is known for having some of the best Mayan Ruins in Central America. Those ruins happen to be a mere 10 minute drive from the school we´re staying at.  Last Thursday we had the privelege to visit the ruins and see a little bit of the culture that still plays a large part in the lives of the people here of Palenque. Another one of my amazing squadmates has made a video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
