Tulum Ruins

While on vacation we went to see Mayan ruins on two different occasions. The first we went to see were the Tulum ruins which were only like 3 miles from our resort. The ruins sit on a cliff overlooking the ocean and are surrounded by a rock wall. We took a taxi to the site and just explored on our own without a tour guide. There were descriptions of the different things in english all around. It was very interesting and a great view next to the ocean. There was also a little Mexican market next to the entrance of the ruins which was fun to check out. Here are some pics of the ruins.

There were lots of lizards at the ruins.

I haven't been able to comment because I was a little sick. Don't worry. It's just a little envy sickness. Everything looks freaking amazing!!

And I too, think Megan shall give birth to a Mexican.

These are some great pictures! This looked like a cool place. I'm kind of kicking myself that we didn't go and see them when we were there for Thanksgiving a while back. I've enjoyed reading about your vacation - you guys do a good job of describing things. Nice work! Looked like you had a lot of fun!

oh, and I can attest to the big lizards. We saw several when we were there, too. Those suckers are huge!
