Day 4: Melting Like Mayans

Tuesday, May... it doesn't matter anymore.

Honey slap on the SPF and break out the shade cuz we gonna check us out some history!  The Tulum Ruins were only a short 10 minute drive away from our resort.  Known as the only coastal ruin in existence for this particular region, it was a swelteringly beautiful tour.  We couldn't get to the breezy coast fast enough!  The ancient rocks beckoned of a once vibrant culture that knew how to survive in such a tropical setting without our cozy creature comforts. 

Being a thrifty group, we didn't bother with paying for a guide.  Instead, we just sort of nuzzled up against various groups who had in fact paid for a guide and listened until, well, we decided we didn't want to anymore.  Others quickly retreated to shade.  Some of us made up our own stories instead and chased iguanas.   Either way, it was magical and not for the faint of heart in the May heat. 




   Upon returning to the resort, we quickly resumed our regularly scheduled programming beach-side.

Regularly scheduled programming meaning beer, shots, not nearly enough water, food, sunbathing, kayaking and just laying in the beautifully hammocked shade palapas. :)
