Unfortunally for us a bus full of mexican tourists got there just before us, and they filled up the churche where the cross is kept, and were listening to lenghy explanation. We walked around, looked at the cave where the cross had been hidden, and didn't wait to be able to get to the church. I would be curious to know whether the tourists saw this as part of their proud history (we had talking cross that helped us with our battles), or as part of the Mayan history (the Maya had a cross that helped them fight us in some battles, but then we won anyway). Every nation must have those parts of history that are little awkward.
