Sunday Marathon!

The day....whew!  We started this morning with a leisurely breakfast and some great hanging out.  This was the prelude to our greatest cultural experience ever - WAL MART!!!!  We spent some great quality time wandering the isles and searching for gifts for our visit to the Tecax orphanage tomorrow. 

Then off to the ruins of Uxmal!  Starting with a tour with Jorge, a few iguana chases, and ending with a race up the pyramid! (not down.....)  Amazing pics to follow when we are not on satellite Internet!

From Uxmal, we had a hair raising ride to the bio cultural reserve of Kaxil Kiuic.....imagine a one lane road through hill country, but take a few feet off each side and no stripe in the middle........

Kiuic: after dousing in "Off", we set out for a hike up the observation tower 50 feet above the jungle floor....the view...again, amazing!  Pictures to follow, of course! 

Finally, dinner!  Salbuts (puffed tortillas with lettuce, grilled chicken, guac, tomato salsa, and hot sauce) and hibiscus tea!  Now...ghost stories!
