Saturday was designed to be a fairly free day to give students time for sight-seeing, swimming, and shopping as well as preparing for the Spanish class in the evening. We left Ticul at 10 and arrived at our hotel in Campeche at noon.
Bill and I walked along the Malecon or sea wall and another road for about an hour to reach the archaeology museum, located in the Fuerte de San Miguel, one of the forts that help protect the city from 200 years of pirate ravages. I wanted to show Bill some of the pieces there from places we had seen, like Calakmul and Becán, and also to plan when and how to take the students through it on the next day.
Spanish class was at 6 and was quite lively and interesting, uncovering so many new layers in the parallel structures of the Castellanos book. At 8 the class finished and we all said goodbye to Bill, who was leaving on a night bus for Tuxtla Gutierrez to catch a plane home in the morning.
