Today I went on an organised tour to visit Kabah and Uxmal. Kabah is a small complex. Our guide Ivan explained to us the need to obtain water and how they built these surface cisterns,called chultuns. Rain and of course, the rain god, Chac were important. Kabah is a wonderful place to see the "frescoes" of the face of Chac - suddenly I could make out his face and in some parts his nose, a long, curling trunk , was intact.
This was a delightful place to visit, with mainly the swallows for company.
