Ruinas, Cenotes - just the beginning

Saturday was a day trip to Dzibilchaltun, a site of Mayan ruins close to where I live. The ruins there are nothing compared with what is coming up in future, but are awing nonetheless. There was also one cenote. The Yucatan does not have many lakes or rivers running on the surface, but underneath there are several cenotes (underground lakes and rivers). They have the bluest water and are inviting to swim in.

After the ruins, we tried to get to the beach and catch a ride in the back of a truck, but were unable to get all the way to the beach. After an hour of waiting for a bus we went back to Merida to reward our great day with dinner in the market and drinks at a cafe.

so i LOVE my wide-angle lens, hands down the best christmas present ever

house of seven dolls, but i can assure you it took more than seven stairs to get there

my underwater camera definitely rivels the lens as the best present ever


the other ruins that we sat by forever waiting for the bus - i'm pretty sure the mayan ruins were better preserved as this probably had a roof at one point

accessories for lunch; today and every other
