To Tulum and the Mayan Riviera.

After our stop at the local Mayan market, we continued on our way to Tulum. This ancient walled city is located on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. We learned so much about the ancient Mayan people and their culture - even a little more than necessary, quite honestly! It was really neat to walk among these ruins that have been dated back to AD 564. It is truly a beautiful sight to stand next to these ancient temples and look out over the crystal clear water.

Man, I bet that was awesome! It's hard to imagine that people lived there so long ago and you were still able to walk in the same place. So cool. And, it looks so beautiful!

Love all the pictures, especially the last one of all the kids. Especially Jack... ;)
