Yucatan trip

Chris and I just got back from an amazing 10 day vacation with my best friend Mandi and her husband, Ken ... we explored most of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. We had an amazing time - hiked Mayan ruins, explored colonial cities, and relaxed in a little beach town. Enjoy the a sampling of the photos - we took over 1000 photos on the trip! I should have one more post this week, before we head out on our New York adventure!

The first ruins we visited - Chichen Itza



San Felipe, a small fishing village on the northern coast



Beautiful church in the capital city of the Yucatan, Mérida


We saw these beautiful door-knockers all over the country


The Continental Patio restaurant in Mérida. We had an amazing meal and got to hear the most entertaining stories from the owner, Alberto (seen here).


The beautiful city of Campeche


Beetles are all over Mexico, so of course I had to capture them!



The view from the top of Structure II in Calakmul - we climbed all the way to the top!


Tulum Ruins


Our travel partners, Mandi and Ken, in Tulum.


Our flight back to the States was canceled because of mechanical problems... we really didn't want to stay in Cancun one more night!
