Day 5: Cozumel, Mexico. Our last stop was Cozumel, Mexico. Mexico was….F’ing Hot! We decided to go to the ruins in Tulum, which were actually on the main land about an hour south of Playa del Carmen (two hours south of Cancun).

We had a great time, though it was extremely hot out. The ruins were neat, even though they weren’t the ones we thought they were (I guess we were thinking of Chichen Itza) and we didn’t actually get to climb any of them. Probably a good thing cause, did I mention it was hot? Our tour guides were great, both of Mayan descent. We learned a lot of the culture and people, and weren’t too terribly annoyed by all the people trying to get “tips” from the tourists for all of their native displays….though I kinda wanted to get a picture of Keith holding the giant iguana (for a small donation, or course). And the air-conditioned bus rides back and forth were awesome! It was a little warm out…

The rest of the Tulum pictures, and a little Playa del Carmen & Cozumel

Day 6: The last day we spent at sea, getting back to good old Port Canaveral. The day was relaxing. We slept a lot and hung out in the hot tub one more time. All –in-all, we had a wonderful time

and weren’t exactly ecstatic about going home. Luckily, I had a whole other week to sit around at home doing nothing and recover! Woohoo!
