We have made a good start here after a hefty absence by remembering our blog address. Although there has been so much to say, we've been silent. Where to begin again?
We guess we'll just begin with our most recent story. We're back from a trip to Merida and while there we took an incredible tour of the village of Acanceh and the ruin of Mayapan. Here are some random pics.
Merida at night.
One of our favorite statues in one of the hundreds of little parks in Merida.
A protected fresco at the top of a pyramid in Acanceh.
This pyramid is right in the middle of Acanceh together with the central market and the village church and chapel. So amazing to have life continue on around a structure over 2000 years old.
This pyramid is in Mayapan. Mayapan was about as big as Chichen Itza but as opposed to the throngs of visitors drawn by Chichen Itza, there were maybe 10 other folks at Mayapan during our time there.
Ed has found another suitable throne!
After Acanceh and Mayapan our guide drove us to a tiny village in the jungle. When we arrived, a throng of very enthuasiastic little boys clambered around the car. They each wanted to be chosen to guide us to a remote cenote. The highlight of the day for Peggy was a swim in her "private" cenote. Below is a picture taken looking into the depths of this sinkhole. The source of light is actually a reflection of the sun in the water. Amazing!
Although this cenote was about 50 feet down from the ground with no other light but the sun, look how bright it is. Again, amazing!
