Thursday, 2-28

Thursday was a bit disappointing. Having done an "express" trip to ruins before, we knew that did not leave enough time...so we opted for the "middle" tour....which was 8-5, rather than 6am-7pm....
Imagine our surprise when we got on the bus and it was announced we were on the express tour and would return about 3:00.....oh well!
BUT....our tour guide gave the tour in three languages. While I absolutely appreciate the need for different languages, we figure we got about 1/3 of the tour highlights because he had to say everything three times!!! We only got to the second "building" of the ruins before our tour time was up. It was also very hard to follow as he changed from one language to the other and then add broken English at best. 
So we went out on our own...but by then we had less than an hour and literally ran and took pictures of things, bought a book and studied later the things we had seen. We then realized we had really only seen about 1/2 of the ruins and no time to shop.
So the pictures you see are not labeled. Perhaps later??
We had really wanted to see the cenote where Jeremy videoed Jordan and Sarah jumping!! But we missed that entirely.
Oh well.....we can say we have been to one of the wonders of the world!.

Friday through Sunday is supposed to be pretty nasty. Cold (72), cloudy and windy...similar to the days we brought the children here. YuK!!!...at least, having internet, I am prepared and thinking of indoor activities???? Sigh........better go buy a deck of cards.
