Misty Mayan morning

Our morning started at 4 am with a knock at our door urging us to get moving or else we'll be late.Quickly dressed and out the door we're rushing quickly through the dark jungle, our flashlights occasionally revealing a shimmer of eyes watching our every move. We make it in plenty of time to climb the stairs to the top of Temple IV in order to watch the sunrise. Most mornings are very misty so instead of the bright pinks and oranges usually associated with a sunrise you watch and listen to the surrounding jungle gradually wake up while the mist clears to reveal one temple then another and another.Star Wars fans should be familiar with the view as part of Star Wars Episode IV was filmed here.
