Today was spent on a tour of Chichen Itza. I wasn’t planning on taking a tour but some cute girl talked me into it. She was German and she spoke Spanish which was odd. I ended up leaving the tour group once I got to the site. It was a long 3 hour bus trip. I wasn’t really impressed by the site. The ruin was amazing to look at but the surroundings left much to be desired. There were too many vendors and tons of tourists. Every attempt I made to take a picture someone just had to walk in front of me. It was kind of annoying. My pictures were overcast at first and then an hour later the sky broke through for amazing shots. I seriously could have stayed there all day taking pictures of the one ruin they call “El Castillo”. Maybe not all day because it was hot and humid.

After Chichen Itza we went to a “cenote” which is Spanish for sinkhole. It was pretty cool but I just decided to people watch as there were too many kids in and around the cenote. Dinner was awesome. We stopped off and had Mexican buffet which consisted of food such as rice, fried fish, tostadas and chicken. I made the mistake of putting too much habanero salsa on my tostada and had to wash it down with a few Coronas. While we ate a few of the locals danced around us. It was entertaining however I was hoping they’d drop the glass they had on their heads. No such luck. They were well trained.

The ride back to Cancun was a great 3 hour nap. Tomorrow I’ll check out some of Cancun’s beaches.
