Tulum

Finally, Audrey can stop drooling; the pictures from the ruins at Tulum are posted. Yes, there are a ton of them. And no, the fat guy is not Ian on vacation--that's Juan, our tour guide from Tulum.

The tour of the ruins itself isn't very long, and really isn't very educational. It consisted of talking about Mayans sacrificing humans and molding the heads of babies with boards. The tour is really geared for tourists who just want to ooh and ahh over the ruins, but really don't want to learn more about them. After about 1/2 an hour of the innane chatter, you're free to run around on your own.

Ian and I wandered around every building on the site of the ruins. We meandered around, taking pictures, and looking at the carved details and paintings on the ruins. It doesn't look like it, but we're really on the top of a cliff. The ruins are all overlooking the ocean, and the view is stunning. There is a path to access the beach and the ocean, and Ian and I did take a walk in the waters. We didn't do a whole lot--just wander, snap pictures, and wander some more. And we didn't learn anything from the tour itself. But we did get to see some beautiful ruins and a beautiful beach, and that was well worth the ride on the floating vomitorium that tried to pass as a ferry.
