The Honeymoon, pt 3

After we went to Chichen Itza, our tour stopped for lunch in this little town.  One thing I really liked about Mexico was all the beautiful murals they put on all the buildings.


The buffet restaurant had these traditional dancer who balanced bottles on their heads while they danced.  It was pretty incredible to see how many bottles they kept adding and no matter how much they kept spinning, they never fell off.

After lunch, the tour went to see a nearby cenote (natural made sink hole).  The water at the bottom was clear and many people swam, but it was really dark and there were bats covering the ceiling, so Danny and I just looked on.  At the top of the cavern was a hole where a huge tree was growing and its roots were growing at the bottom of the cave, at least several stories down, and it's still growing now.  crazy.


Before they took us back to the hotel, we had a stop in Merida, the capital of Yucatan, and saw the Grand Plaza and the local cathedral.



We also got to tour the Governor's palace and see a series of murals about Mexico's history and culture.
