Archaeological site at La Chole

the kid that actually petitioned the govt to fund that site (while he was just in high school) does tours there. id go w him (no offense shark boy). pretty sure he knows more than anyone around there. (but you would need to speak spanish, which im sure you all do, right ?)

its truly fascinating seeing pyramids covered with grass and trees from the mud deposited there from a tsumami hundreds of years ago

That "kid" is named Adán Veléz Romero and he has a brother named José Guadalupe, and while he can give the best tour of La Chole and the ruins and the museum, you still have to get yourself there, and that's where SharkBoy (Avi) comes in. SharkBoy is also a very good interpreter.
