Cancun

This place is amazing. We went to Tulum on Friday and ended up headed towards Chichen Itza. The road we took was a toll road so it was super empty. We FLEW in our little PT Cruiser. once there, we hired a guide and he was so cool. He spoke five languages and knew a ton about the ruins. The place was so cool in it's "advanced" technology of telling time. The temple is just so awe inspiring. I just envisioned the Mayans being there and doing their rituals. AMAZING! That's really all I can think to say.

Yesterday we went to a resort for a spill about time shares. They gave us lunch and took us on a tour and about an hour later we left with $180 and no timeshare. If you can say "no" then you're set. It was on the way to Tulum, so we went ahead and completed the trip. Funny story- there are speed bumps everywhere the speed limit decreases and yesterday we got caught off guard and hit it at about 40-50kph. The car hit and I swear we got airborne. Some people on the side of the road were just standing there with their mouths gaping. Chelsea had taken the role upon herself of bump detector and every since then, she's been yelling out "bump" if there was any chance of a bump. Our poor car will never be the same. On to Tulum-it was AMAZING! this place is a bunch of ruins right on the ocean and it was gorgeous. Chichen Itza was nice, but man this place was friggin amazing. I got some good shots of the ruins with the beach in the background (the beach is okay, but the water is the most amazing blue ever). There's a tropical depression here right now, but it's still so cool. Our hotel is super nice (although most here are). The stuff isn't that cheap, but in some of the smaller towns (which are full of those bumps) the stuff is real cheap.

Dr. Pepper is hit and miss here. Few places have it, but it is around. I am currently addicted to the apple juice here; it tastes so fresh and real. I love going into the small markets and speaking Spanish to get the deals. We finally quit using American dollars and converted to pesos, which makes things much easier. Luckily 10 pesos equal a dollar, so conversion hasn't been too tough. Anyways, we're taking today off and since it's raining on and off, I decided to post. I'm sitting in a really nice McDs right now using some one's internet. I enjoy not having it in the room and I especially like not having a cell phone. It's freedom.
