Oh what's a trip to one of the new 7 Wonders of the World without a little complaining about the heat, right? =)We took a trip to Chichen Itza today, right in the middle of the week, as per Joy and Rob's suggestion. They said Chichen Itza was so amazing that nothing else would really compare, therefore the best thing would be to visit sort of in the middle of my stay, a little towards the end. So today it was =) I chose an afternoon tour with a night show because I wanted to see this place af...

We woke up mad early on Thursday because we were signed up for a full day Chichen Itza trip.  The bus was supposed to pick us up at 7:00 am in the morning and after some arguing with the complimentary breakfast man at our hotel we ran out with some jimmyrigged sandwiches.  The van arrived at about 7:15-7:20 and took us to the dock were Fat Tuesday is held.  We checked in and waited for a few in a half sleepy daze until it was time to climb on the charter bus to make the three a...

Three hours away from Cancun is Chichen Itza, one of the new seven wonders of the world. The place was just HOT!! HOT as in i  was perspiring a lot!! The place was just crowded with tourist, but seeing the pyramids was just an extraordinary experience...  Though they don't allow us to climb at the pyramids anymore, just standing right before it was just awesome...They do have an ancient games similar to basketball, how it was played remains a mystery... The pyramid also over ca...

Based on all of the reviews and recommendations, we got up early and caught the 7:15am bus to Chitzen Itza.  It took about 1hr and we arrived before the ruins were open to find at least 50 people in line already.  Luckily they were mostly with tours, so we bypassed most everyone.  It is one of the new 7 wonders of the world and it cost $10 US.  I think the last wonder of the world I was at was the Grand Canyon.  I had driven down from Flagstaff, AZ and when I got ther...

On July 26th, Paul (LoganBruin) earned the Photographers award, and as usual I went through his gallery to look at his photos before giving him my congratulations. One photo caught my eye, and even he had commented “Stupid sign” under it.  So I asked if I could do my little magic and get that sign to go on vacation.  The sign agreed and said as long as it could take the people along with him to the Caribbean he would be pleased.  So that’s how the sign left. Hope you like...

End of May 2007, flew to Cancun, stayed in Playa del Carmen and drove all over the Yucutan checking out ruins. Of course I hung out at the beach too!

I love these photos!!! They are so colorful, vibrant and full of life!

Mexico is probably the country I've visited the most, so I've got a ton of shots. Most of these are in my professional portfolio as well.

Trip to Chitzen Itza Mexico

The Maya-route goes from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Belize.

4 Introverts and 1 extrovert on a mission to see Mayan ruins and chill out in Belize.

Arrived around lunch in this small town close to the ruins at Chichen Itza.  Hot and dry day, made it uncomfortable walking to the hotel with our packs on.  Stayed at the Posada Olade for 20,000 pesos.  Quite expensive but cheaper than a hotel nearer the ruins.  Spent the afternoon lazying about in the room. Trying to catch up sleep before tackling the many steps of the temples at Chichen Itza. Not as impressed with these ruins compared with Palenque.  Many of the bu...

My best friend got married in Akumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico in May, 2007. I spent a week there with all of my best friends, and then explored some more of Yucatan State with my friend Bonnie.
