Camera Copan Ruinas 2
01.7.18 6:55 pm Camera Copan Ruinas 2
So I completed my tour of Copan, which was, um, nice. The heat and sun really exhausted me. It wasn't as cool as Copan or Palenque or even Tenothecucan or Monte Alban or the other Mayan sites. It just didn't do a good job of creating a feeling of Being inside a mayan ruin. Partcialy too small. Lots of the famous stuff was stuck in the museurm, and then everthing had unsightly wire keeping you off of it. I'm certain the amount cash available to make it pretty isn't much, so I shouldn't complain.
But it ain't Tee-kal.
Finished my suare in Copan about 3pm, then it was BankTime. The huge fees of the ruins sucked up my ramining fundage. First bank I went to, at 3pm, closed. Second one, scored Lemiras, at a scant over 15 per dollar. Then, as I hadn't eaten all day but had walked about eveywhere in the hot sun and drank about 2 liters of water, I decided to get some food. Took my trusty Charmin (TM) Swiss Army Knife. Purpose: Disect Olympus D100 Digital Camera. I musta looked like a SuperFreakazoidGringo in this little comedor place, munchin' on a chicken burrito and tryign to use my straight edged eyeglass screwdriver that craftically screws into the center of theSwiss Army Knife Corkscrew in the most James Bondish of fashion when not in use, to open up little tiny phillips head screws on the camera. In the end after almost strippin the screws and the skin off my forefinger and thumb from holding too tightly, I managed to get it open, which was quite a pain, and then got to check out the non-boogie-lensation. Tried to fix by various methods. I'm not quite sure how I did it, but I managed to disinduce whatever caused the original failure and then the camera lens did the bump-and-grind and I did my own little victory bump and grind, and now she's back in action. Little hold the gear while it opened and give it the yank to reindex it on the right notch action. I think that's what was wrong...it slipped a notch and couldn't focus right or something.
Anyway, I'm a mechanical geniius. And merciully spared from having to figure out what to do about the camea, since I absolutely love having a digital camera for photos. Next goal, which I plan to do in La Cieba, is to upload or burn or something all the pictures. She's gettin' a tad full. I think if I can't do a image burn, I may also need to some photodeletion.
Anyway, Makenzie, I guess sometimes the ol; Engineering degree does come in handy....just ask Sean, the Original Mechanical Genius.
