A Day in Mani--Un dia en Mani




This is the municipality of Mani, Yucatan, Mexico. This is across the street from Diego de Landa's church. Diego de Landa was, of course, the Bishop who collected and burned many Mayan hieroglyphic books. Interestingly, next to the municipality is located a new library called Antonio Gaspar Chi, the name of the Yucatec Mayan scribe consulted by Landa for his "Relación de las Cosas de Yucatán" of ca. 1566.
