more from the Yucatan in Mexico & moving on...


After enjoying the sugary white sands of the Mexican Caribbean coast for almost 2 weeks and snorkelling the deep cavernous sacred cenotes of this area, we are just about ready to head out of the Yucatan to other parts of Mexico.



We did get to the ruins of Tulum which are particularly scenic due to their location right on the coast.  This site is said to be dedicated to Venus.  Tulum is an interesting area and this year in particular, is attracting many people from all over the world drawn by the special sacred energy of the area and the 2012 Mayan prophecy which foretells massive changes toward the end of this year.  We have enjoyed meeting some truly inspiring spiritual people during our time here.


We were thinking maybe iguanas established and caretake the ruins of Tulum because they are everywhere.


We also got 45 minutes inland to the small Mayan town of Coba which also has a fantastic set of ruins and boasts the tallest pyramid on the Yucatan peninsula at 42 meters.



And here is the intrepid climber heading down the pyramid just before we were hit by heavy rains.



So now, we are headed to Palenque, another Mayan ruin in the jungles of Mexico on the way to the Chiapas area.  We are scheduled to leave Tulum this afternoon on a 12 hour bus.

Adios for now, amigos y amigas.
