Ruins and More....

While on our trip to Mexico, we were able to visit Chichen Itza. The Mayan ruins located in the northern center of the Yucatan Peninsula. Blake and I have been a couple times before together, including on our honeymoon. This trip was so nice because the weather was perfect. Every time I think of our travels to Chichen Itza I remember being miserably hot. This trip it was like 75 degrees and not really that humid.

I really enjoy the ruins. When you see the pictures you will understand why. They just are so beautiful and have such an amazing grace to them.

Not only did we get to enjoy the ruins, but we got to shop. I mean, really shop. Blake and I purchased more stuff than we ever have in the past. I love buying stuff at places like this, because I feel like you are buying memories of these places. I think about our trip every time I look at something I purchased down there.

The best part of Chichen Itza is staying at Cenote Ikil de Chichen Itza. For those that have never been there, or seen a Cenote, they are absolutely amazing. Cenotes are sinkholes with rocky edges containing groundwater. Most that I have swam in contain really clear water. The Ikil Cenote has a neat Motel we stay at. They are little individual houses right next to the Cenote. We usually take midnight swims, but this trip it was way too cold, so we waited until the morning.

I am sad to say, but I have ran out of pictures of our Mexico adventure. It was one of my favorite vacations we have taken together and I look forward to going again (really) soon.
