The Cenote

After I saw the ancient Nazca lines, I decided to go to a Cenote. A Cenote is a resevoir for water; where water gathers when it has no where else to go. I got a scuba diving instructor and dove into the water. My first reaction was ahhhhhhh its cold!!!!!!!!!! But then I looked around. I saw a door. Opening it I felt a blast of hot water. I stepped into the tunnel. I felt rather than saw the door close behind me. There was nowhere to go but forward. In a few steps I entered the Mayan underworld. Everything was red and hot. I saw all of these people running around, serving the 'master'. When I asked for directions the people laughed in my face and told me to go to the 'master' again. Finally I decided to go to this 'master' they were talking about. They pointed me in the right direction, finally. When I got to the room where they pointed me, I saw a small, tired looking man, in robes giving orders to everyone. Just then I remembered studying this man in grade school. he was the first king of the Maya!!! You could probably tell how nervous I was standing in front of a king in a scuba diving outfit. When I asked where the exit was in English, he didn't understand me. Then I gave Spanish a shot. Then he understood me. But in response he grinned and said something really fast that sounded something like "you will have to be a sacrifice to me." Then I started to get freaked out. I understood that this wasn't some scary dream that I would wake up out of and everything would be alright, this was real. I was going to be sacrificed as and offering to someone who wasn't even alive anymore!!!




I think that blogging is helping me synthesize. I liek writing things that I think. :D
