Lacking my invited (and declined) presence as a grave-robbing companion, Russ and Sue journeyed at last to the Palenque ruins in June of 1992 and encountered the ancient skeletal remains of a very tall person. As pictures here illustrate, he first mailed off a postcard to me, one side showing excavated remnants of the city, and the other scribbled with a note regarding the tomb itself.
The close-up photo of the tomb was snapped by Russ and on the reverse he, obviously excited, wrote, "I have a bone!" after the deed was accomplished, apparently sans authorities, police or tomb-protective ghosts.
The result? We'll cover that -- and finish this series -- next time.
