The place we embarked from was little more than an army outpost in the jungle. There were a number of small pyramids there (unexcavated) and the Guatemalan army had set their machine guns up on top of them. The average age of the soldiers was about 17 I would guess. It made me nervous being surrounded by so many kids with guns. This was back in the days when the army would put up roadblocks and search all vehicles for boys to conscript (kidnap) into the army.
