Ek' Balam And More From Mexico




Eating Lunch at a beach side place just before heading home



Pics of the house we rented. It was really nice.



This cute dog lived next door. She was really scared of us when we first got there but by the end of the trip she was super excited to see us every time we came home.



I had to talk Taylor out of buying this. I think he was seriously considering it.




More Puerto Morelos Pics



This was a really pretty church at a town we stopped at on our way home from the Ek' Balam Mayan Ruins



From the top of the tallest building at Ek' Balam. The view was amazing but I'm too afraid of heights. I couldn't bring my self to go to the top.







Michelle and I stayed at the bottom. We were too chicken to climb to the top.





Ek' Balam was really cool to see. It is amazing how old these structures are and surrounding it is nothing but jungle.






These are pictures from the Cenote. Mexico has tons of under ground rivers that flow into the ocean. When limestone wears away over time they create these natural sink holes or centotes as they call them. We spent all day at this cenote going off the zip line and playing rope wars as you an see in the above pics. This has to be one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Just beautiful blue water surrounded by jungle. It was amazing. This was by far our favorite day in Mexico.




Taylor and Russ went night snorkeling and were able to see some really cool fish. Taylor's wet suit was just a tad sung.
