  I was in Tikal in 1973. I was good to stumble across your fine coverage of the place. I always wanted to go again but other trips made more sense. At that time the government was just taking posession and there was a nightly curfew except on the full moon night. My friend and I were lucky enough to be there for one of those night and spent most of the night atop temple #1 watching the animals roam the plaza. We had to scale the fence to get out since the guard had left long before us and locked the gate Great to be reminded. Thanks
