San Gervasio, Mexico

On our 2nd day in Mexico, we visited San Gervasio which is an archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization. The ruins were once a hub of worship of the goddess Ix Chel, deity of the moon, childbirth, fertility, medicine and weaving.  Pre-Columbian women would try to travel to San Gervasio and make offerings at least once in their lifetime.  "The Arch" dates back to 1200 - 1650 AD.  Among the ruins were lots of Lizards of all sizes.
