A Ball Court


Chichen Itza, Mexico
December 2001

The Mayans were great sportsmen and built huge ball courts to play all their games. The Great Ball Court of Chichen Itza is 225 feet wide and 545 feet long. This was the small hoop atop the high stone wall for the rubber ball. The game was played much like soccer...without the use of hands.

I loved seeing all the flowers and shrubs in bloom when we visited Cancun in late December 2001. This hibiscus was just one of several that caught my eye.
