They say three days is too short for a vacation to a foreign country: it's not enough time to see anything or really relax. Non-U.S. tourists are especially fond of expressing this view. I appreciate their viewpoint, but a hammock is a hammock!

By the way, Lee told me that she first heard of Ek Balam for their hammocks. This is a hand-made specimen from the village - it's the same type the Maya use in their own homes. They'll measure you and weave you one if you have three days to spare. So there is a downside to spending just a day in each spot.
