Tulum

The ruins of Tulum are in an amazing location.  Limestone cliffs next to the Carribbean sea with coves of white sand that stretch for miles of coastline.  It was an important Mayan port for trading along the Carribbean coast.  It kind of reminded us of Dreamland in Bali.   We´ve heard there will be an international airport going in Tulum in 3 years so people are starting to buy up land - this place will be the next Cancun, so we hear.

Logan was very excited to see all the iguanas all over the temples and the grounds.  He explained how to say iguana to Shane many times.




Ali getting all reflective.

 Because we stayed in town and were able to arrive shortly after the park opened, we basically had the place to ourselves.  Very nice to appreciate it that way.  By mid morning, we had seen the grounds and went down to the beach to cool off in the ocean.  Busloads kept arriving.  By the time we got out we had to fight our way up the stairway on the cliff.  Mass hordes of tourists smoking, yelling, breathing heavily and just generally being part of the mass. Only the different colours of wristbands they wore distinguished them apart from one another. The Mayans would make quick work of them.

After

 

Yes, it is the rainy season.  This was 8 a.m. today.  We watched lightning storms and it´s been an inside day of internet and activities.  Clearing up now so off to do some stuff.  Stuff is good.
