• New Years Eve

    New Years Eve in downtown Cancun was a pretty mellow affair for us, just more good food and enjoying some of the local celebrations

  • Cancun

    Our last day in Mexico, we drove into Cancun, so we'd be ready for the flight the next morning. Liam and Miles worked on Mayan inspired sand castles, and we all enjoyed the bath-warm waters

  • Obey the signs

    Driving around Mexico, probably 2/3rds of the signs were about either “Obeying” the signs, “respecting” the signs, “honoring” the signs, and “please don’t mistreat the signs.” In Chiapas, they pleaded “Don’t attack the signs”

  • Valladolid

    Valladolid was probably our favorite town to visit (after Campeche) very laid back, with a 17th Century church that was beautifull

  • Chichen Itza

    The final ruins we went to were outside of Valladolid and are probably the most famous/most visited. Having gone to so many other ruins already, we felt like giving this last one a skip, but we knew we'd regret it later. That said it was more than worth it, and getting there early avoided the crowds. X's and O's  Again with the monsters with big noses

  • Mayapan

    Mayapan isn't the most visited site, but we liked it a lot. We wondered why there was holes in the wall on the images of people. Apparently that's where the Mayans would put the decapitated heads of their enemies! Myself and Liam on the main temple

  • Uxmal

    While I spend the day getting over my fever, Cindy, Liam and Miles visited Uxmal, one of the more ornamental ruins of the trip. They also so came across a few iguanas. The Mayans at Uxmal were really into kings with big noses Another ballcourt that reminded us of Harry Potter's Quidditch

  • The Flycatcher

    One of the nicest places we stayed at was a place we came across by chance after another hotel we had planned to stay out, turned out to have closed down. We ended up spending 2 nights at the Flycatcher in Saint Elana, which coincided with my 24 hour fever, so it was a nice place to hang out on the porch and read while I got better. Mile's loved the hammock as well.

  • Edzna

    After a long drive from Chiapas, we stopped to visit the Edzna ruins, which we really impressive, but we made the mistake of climbing the main temple was Liam was hungry, he managed to make it through! Liam thinking about how hungry he is
